swissTB has launched the new initative "seed money" for young researchers in the field of TB research. The board of swissTB has decided to spend up to CHF 20'000 for startup research grants for junior investigators that are within 5 years of their PhD or MD graduation. The grant is intended as “seed money” to initiate a promising novel line of research that will be initiated and carried out by the applicant.

Please submit your project (max. 5 pages including references, budget and time line), a cover letter as well as a supporting letter from your host laboratory. Deadline August 31, 2016. We inform all of our “members” listed on the Swiss TB homepage of this new possibility.
