Rules for Application

The Grant is open to any member of the ERS at the time of application. Organisations or companies are not eligible. The application should meet all the criteria of a scientific project (rationale, methods, expected results, budget and justification of the budget, references and the Curriculum Vitae of the applicant). The aim should clearly be research in education for respiratory medicine, either for undergraduate or for continuous medical education. Projects with a main focus on the development of educational material or on medical research will not be funded. Particular emphasis should also be given to the potential impact of the project on developments to the ERS Learning Resources Website.

Publication

The results will be published on the ERS website and in a recognised journal, either the ERJ or another peer review journal. The outcome of any accepted project will belong to the ERS and support from the ERS School will be emphasised in the publication.
