Paul Fentener van Vlissingen Fellowship
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.
This grant honours the memory of Paul Fentener van Vlissingen. The fellowship aims to support a young, talented physician or researcher to get additional training in particular research areas and further develop his/her skills and knowledge of lymphoma. The fellowship funds salary, housing and materials necessary to visit an internationally renowned research team working on the understanding of the cause of malignant lymphoma or new ways to treat this disease. The fellowship will support the applicant with € 50,000 per year, for a maximum of two years. Local and hosting teams are invited to submit their joint nomination using the Paul Fentener van Vlissingen Lymphoma Fellowship application form and recommendation letters available on the Lymph&Co website.
The fellowship supports the opportunity for a talented young researcher (below the age of 40 years and within 6 years of obtaining his/her PhD) to visit an internationally renowned research group in the field of lymphoma. The fellowship is intended to further the career of young researchers in basic, translational or clinical research residing in the Netherlands. The application should be supported by a recommendation letter from the head of the department the applicant is currently working. In addition, a letter of acceptance by the head of the host department is required and hosting teams are invited to submit their joint nomination together using the Paul Fentener van Vlissingen Lymphoma Fellowship application form available on the Lymph&Co website.

By applying for a grant supported by Lymph&Co, applicants agree that scientific data obtained during the research will be made public so that they will become available to other scientists. Applicants should also be willing to present their research project to donors of Lymph & Co and/or other interested parties.
The only official communication line of the proposal is between the Lymph & Co Research Secretariat (research@lymph-co.com) and the applicant. The applicant will be the person contacted by the research secretariat during the application procedure, so he/she must forward this information to the other participants.
The most important criterion for evaluation is the motivation of the applicant. In addition, proposals will be assessed according to specific evaluation criteria`;
