The Phd Project must be experimental, in the field of basic biomedical research and aimed at elucidating basic biological phenomena of human life and acquiring new scientific knowledge. For a survey on the range of topics, please refer to the results of finished projects in FUTURA, the international journal of the foundation. Natural scientists should have been awarded their diploma, BSc, MSc or equivalent degree; physicians, veterinary surgeons and pharmacists should have passed their state examinations. At the deadline, the applicant should not have been working on his/ her project for more than 6 months. The beginning of the PhD project is considered by BIF to be:
The date of the final examination (e.g. BSc, MSc, Diploma, DEA, Licenciatura, Laurea) on the official certificate if the applicant continues to work in the same research group; or
The month of arrival at the laboratory in which the PhD project is pursued if the applicant changes his/her research group.
In other cases, i.e. when participating in MSc/Phd Program or graduate schools without an official final examination prior to the Phd project, please contact us. The foundation gives preference to applicants who are about to begin their Phd work when they apply for the fellowship; preliminary results are not expected.
We do Not Support:-
Applied research, such as biotechnological and pharmaceutical development and studies on the course of diseases or the treatment of symptoms;
Botanical and prokaryotic investigations unless they are of general biological importance;
Education, we can support only research. Fellowships therefore cannot be used during the course and rotation phase of PhD programmes, but only for the duration of the PhD project.
Furthermore, the PhD fellowships cannot be used to supplement inadequate funding from other institutions or earned incomes, to bridge temporary financial difficulties or to complete investigations already sponsored by other institutions.
Important Information: The Scientists in the Board of Trustees and the external peer reviewer evaluate applications according to the following three criteria:
The applicant’s achievements to date (grades and curriculum vitae);
The scientific quality, e.g. originality and inventiveness, of the proposed PhD project;
The scientific standard of the laboratories in which the project is to be pursued.
