In 2017, two AR&D Postdoc grants were awarded to provide an opportunity to talented young post docs for an extra year of research time to strengthen their independent research idea and improve their CV to make them more eligibility for a personal grant (VENI/ERC starting grant), which can result in independent funding for their own research career. Below an overview of the grants awarded, along with a summary of the final results.
