The Finnish Medical Foundation awards scholarships to Finnish medical researchers and students. The Finnish Medical Society Duodecim established the foundation in 1960.
The annual value of the scholarships awarded exceeds 2 million euros. The scholarships are funded by financial investments.
Scholarships are divided into three categories:
Project scholarships are awarded to high-quality research projects with a topic that has been given priority by the Foundation (typically 150.000-200.000 euros for three years)
Research scholarships enable the recipient to work full-time for 4-12 months on a research project (typically 9 000 – 27 000 euros)
Encouragement scholarships are awarded to young researchers preparing a doctoral thesis or beginning a career in research (typically up to 5 000 euros)
Grants are awarded to M.D.s and to M.D. students.
Applications can be submitted once a year in May.
