The AMS Musculoskeletal Health (MSH) research programme opens a call for writing a grant proposal aimed at PhD candidates in their final year and for postdoc researchers who finished their PhD no earlier than 2021.

A small grant from AMS-MSH will facilitate them to prepare and submit a grant proposal for a new, innovative research project and/or form a consortium fitting one of the five research themes of AMS-MSH (see AMS Musculoskeletal Health Research programme).

If funded, this new research project will:

  1. facilitate collaboration within and outside AMS,
  2. increase the output and impact of AMS-MSH research, and
  3. provide applicants an opportunity to conduct research after their PhD.

A budget of €20.000 will be available to fund 2 researchers (maximum of €10.000 (per person). If granted, this funding should be used to extend the researcher's temporary contract (or offer a new contract, in case of an already-ended contract) for a short period that takes place entirely in 2025. When applying please use the application form (below). Note the deadline: April 30, 2025, 23.59h.
