Description
The Madeleine Schickedanz Fellowships for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology specifically support medical doctors and scientists with a doctorate at German research institutions who dedicate themselves to clinical and translational research in the field of childhood cancer over a period of two years. Open nationwide, the fellowships support early-career researchers by covering 50% of personnel costs according to the collective agreement and providing up to €15,000 in material resources per year. The goal is to develop innovative therapeutic strategies and reduce side effects of existing treatments to sustainably improve the chances of cure and quality of life for affected children and adolescents.
Applicants must have a doctoral degree in medicine or a natural science, and the fellowship must be hosted at a German institution. A supporting letter from the head of the institution or department, including a binding financial commitment for the remaining personnel costs, is mandatory.
