Consortium Initiation grant

Consortium Initiation grant

The Lymph&Co Foundation works with the motto “Away with Lymphoma”. To achieve this goal, Lymph&Co has linked itself to a strong commitment to stimulate promising and high quality research and to offer financial support for basic, translational and clinical research that may pave the way for better outcome and/or more cure. Lymph&Co supports research with three types of grants, i.e., the Lymph&Co research grant, a Consortium Initiation grant and the Paul Fentener van Vlissingen Lymphoma Fellowship.

Lymph & Co Consortium Initiation Grant

1. Aim of the call

Innovative research benefits from the collaboration between multidisciplinary research groups supplying diverse expertise in consortia working on a joint project. Building a consortium takes time and effort. To stimulate groups working together to achieve a better understanding of the biology of lymphoma or the development of new therapeutics, Lymph&Co supports the formation of research consortia with a Consortium Initiation Grant.

2. Call Topic

The focus of the call is on the initiation of multidisciplinary consortia working on (therapeutics of) malignant lymphoma, malignant lymphoid neoplasia and related malignant blood diseases (particularly lymphoid disorders). The grant will cover costs for the organization of an international meeting to initiate the consortium.

3. Application

3.1 Eligibility

Applications from international research groups are welcomed but in particular proposals from scientific groups (national and/or international) with complementing expertise are appreciated.

3.2 Submission of proposal (use Lymph & Co Consortium Initiation grant application form)
