The programme is open to scientists who are within the first three years of obtaining an independent laboratory at a research institute in an EMBC-Member Country. They should be working in the very broadly defined area of Molecular Biology. Applicants should be supported by funds from other sources, such that they have a viable group for the period of the award, as the programme will not be a source of funding for the core requirements of the group. They should normally have between two to eight years of post doctoral scientific experience and an excellent publication record. EMBO is hoping to award a total of 30-50 groups at a time for a three-year period. It is expected that the distinction by EMBO will add the prestige of the organisation to the scientist's credentials and improve the chances of receiving funding at the national and international level. The Programme will also encourage and support interactions between the selected groups by holding a yearly meeting at the EMBL and will provide funds for specialist meetings or visits among groups. A monetary award will be paid by most of the EMBC Member States to EMBO Young Investigators from their countries. The award will amount to EUR 15 000 per year for a period of 3 years in countries that decide to participate in the scheme. EMBO itself has pledged EUR 1 500 000 into a pool, which will be used to provide topping up. The topping-up is at the discretion of the EMBO Selection Committee and could cover, e.g., the cost of a post-doctoral salary (~EUR 30 000, depending on country). For further information and application forms, please see our web-site: http://www.embo.org/YIAtoppage.html, or contact YIP@embo.org Please relay this information to interested scientists in your institute or elsewhere.
