Travel Grants

Children’s Tumor Foundation Europe is offering travel grants to a selection of multidisciplinary NF centers throughout Europe to further the professional development of clinicians and allied healthcare professionals who see NF patients. While these grants are not restricted to applicants based in Europe, because of the short duration of these visits, it is expected that many of the grantees will be based in Europe. Applicants based in other continents, especially those who will happen to be in Europe for other reasons, are of course welcome to apply.

Participating clinics offer a pre-programmed 1-to 3-day visit, as well as ‘à la carte’ training. Please click the link at each location to review each center’s program or à la carte offerings. Please note that language restrictions apply, but many centers offer training in several languages. Each center has noted language restrictions in its program offerings.

If you have questions, please reach out to the contact at the NF center to which you are interested in applying. For general questions, please reach out to CTF Europe Scientific Officer Marco Nievo at mnievo@ctf.org

 

To Apply

Applicants are invited to submit a CV along with an explanation of their motivation for applying and a description of the program or à la carte training they wish to receive. Please email these items to the contact person indicated at the clinic where they wish to be trained. Please submit at least 3 months in advance of the time frame in which you hope to attend.

Grant Amounts and Reimbursement

Once selected by the clinic and the program visit has been planned, the grantee will be contacted by CTF with a reimbursement procedure. CTF Europe will reimburse up to 500 Euro for travel in economy class, up to 150 Euros per night for lodging, and up to 50 Euros per day for food.
