The Boehringer Ingelheim Fonds (BIF) awards Travel Grants to junior researchers who are currently conducting an experimental project in basic biomedical research and wish to pursue a short-term research stay or attend a practical course of up to 3 months.

The BIF awards travel grants to European citizens working in Europe and overseas, and to non-European citizens who perform their MD, PhD or postdoctoral project in Europe, or will use the travel grant to work in Europe. Applicants must pursue an experimental project in basic biomedical research and belong to one of the following groups of junior scientists:

PhD students or medical students pursuing an experimental doctoral thesis who are not older than 30 years of age;
postdocs who are pursuing a particular research project who are not older than 32 years of age;
graduates from abroad who have applied for a PhD project, but who have not yet worked with their potential PhD supervisor.

Travel grants are awarded only for practical trainings in laboratories or courses of up to 3 months. They cannot be used for longer research stays.

Purpose:

to learn clearly-defined methods useful for your ongoing research and the work of your research group at home by visiting another laboratory, or by attending research-orientated courses including practical training (the practical part has to cover at least 50% of the course);
to enable graduates from abroad and their potential PhD supervisors to evaluate the scientific and personal prerequisites before embarking on a PhD thesis. To this end, the graduate student shall pursue a short project in his/her potential PhD supervisor’s laboratory for at least 4 weeks.

Fond provide a flat-rate contribution which may cover the expenses for travel, lodging and course fees.

Applications may be submitted at any time.

The application shall be completed in English and by the applicant personally.
