What do the scholarships/fellowships cover?
ESGLD Travel Fellowships are intended to support travel and accommodation costs associated with collaborative visits to other member laboratories or attending relevant scientific conferences.
ESGLD Scholarships are intended to provide short-term salary support and associated consumables costs, allowing the completion of small pilot studies (e.g. to generate preliminary data for larger grant applications to national funding agencies) or completion of ongoing studies whose funding has expired for any research project which involves collaboration between one member lab and another lab which can be a member or non-member lab. This work can be undertaken by the recipient of the Scholarship in their own lab as long as there is evidence of collaboration with the other laboratory. Where a Non-member lab is involved in the collaboration then the Scholarship applicant will need to provide a statement from the head of that lab that it is their intention to dedicate time and staff to Lysosomal Diseases work.
