has accepted to host and guide the fellow under the supervision of a designated
host for the duration of the fellowship. Fellowships worth of EUR
60,000 are awarded for the duration of one year.
Study Subject(s): Fellowships are awarded in the area
of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

Eligibility: In order to be eligible, the candidate
must:
1. Not be older than 40 years or still in training at the time of application;
2. Submit an original research project using the “ECCO Fellowships/Grants Technical Appendix”, not exceeding 13 pages;
3. Having a hosting laboratory and/or department outside one’s own country, which has accepted to host and guide the Fellow under the supervision of a designated host for the duration of the Fellowship. The hosting institution is responsible, together with the Fellow, for the successful completion of the project;
4. If your hosting institute holds a current ECCO Fellowship, then another application for this period is not possible. Therefore, an institution cannot apply for two ECCO Fellowships in consecutive years;
5. ECCO Fellowship applicants and their hosts need to be ECCO Members (at the time of application);
6. ECCO Fellowship applicants are not limited to the ECCO Member Countries and can apply for non-European countries, but the benefit to ECCO has to be clearly stated;
7. Fellowships aim to enhance the opportunity for IBD trainees to work in European centres. The principal purpose is to enhance the fabric and scientific contribution of ECCO. Exceptional circumstances such as an ECCO Member from an ECCO Member state travelling to a non-member state will be considered, but such an application is likely to receive a lower priority than an ECCO Member from a non-European country visiting Europe.

Scholarship Description: The European Crohn’s and
Colitis Organization (ECCO) offers Research Fellowships to encourage and help
young individuals in their career and promote innovative scientific research in
the area of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in Europe. Applicants should be aware
that these awards are offered to promote and encourage innovative research in
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases by young and enthusiastic basic and/or clinical
scientists. Individuals with a well established career in the field of IBD
research are not considered eligible for these fellowships.
Number of award(s): Up to two ECCO Fellowships may
be given each year.
Duration of award(s): The duration of the award is one
year.
What does it cover? A total amount of 60.000 Euro will
be awarded per ECCO Fellowship. The Fellowship award has to be used to cover
the applicant’s salary. If the award is not entirely used for the applicant’s
salary, the remaining funds have to be used for other expenses of the
Fellowship project (e.g. lab material). If, after the award of an ECCO
Fellowship, a separate application for funding the project is successful, then
the host is required to inform SciCom. This is to allow appropriate discussion
of a separate funding body providing the salary of the individual and
recognition of ECCO support.
Selection Criteria: All projects will be reviewed and
scored by the members of the ECCO Scientific Committee with external review
requested and expected, based on the following criteria:
-Originality and innovative nature of the proposal
-Methodology
-Feasibility
-International scientific level of the research team
-CV of the applicant
-Importance of the project in the field of IBD
-Impact for ECCO
