Two fellowships per year are funded by Grifols. Funding is EUR 50,000 per fellow for one year.
Awardees will be invited to attend an Awards Dinner held at the annual congress of the European Respiratory Society (ERS).
Fellowships will be awarded based on the final priority score as agreed by the eALTA Review Team (ART). The ART’s decision is final and there is no appeal mechanism. Applicants who have constructive suggestions about the review of their applications, or the process in general, are encouraged to contact the eALTA program coordinator.
Conflict of Interest
The Program has 'conflict of interest' guidelines that ensure reviews are conducted in a fair and equitable manner. Reviewers will not participate in the review or priority scoring of applications in which they, or institutions with which they are affiliated, have an interest. Also, reviewers will not participate in the review of proposals competing for funding with proposals for individuals associated with their institutions.
Confidentiality
The members of the eALTA Review Team are bound by the confidentiality rules generally applicable to such bodies. In certain circumstances, where patentable material is being discussed, Grifols may ask the external members of the ART to sign a more specific confidentiality agreement.
