Amsterdam Movement Sciences Research Institute has since its launch in 2017 had numerous calls aimed at its researchers. During the initial period, the aim of the grants was to stimulate and initiate multidisciplinary research collaboration between researchers at our partners from Amsterdam UMC, ACTA and VU Amsterdam.

Grants given to young academics have a multi layered effect; they can bring innovative research results in the exact direction the institute is aiming for; they often bring new, multidisciplinary research collaboration, and can give young aspiring academics the push they want in their career.
