Some EFSD Keywords

Confidentiality

EFSD receives proposals in confidence and is responsible for protecting the
confidentiality of their contents. For this purpose, EFSD has a policy in place that
prohibits individuals involved in the handling and review of the proposals from
purposefully disclosing confidential EFSD or applicant information to people outside of
the EFSD review process and requires them to act with due care in order to avoid the
inadvertent disclosure of confidential information. Additional information on EFSD’s
privacy policy is published on the EFSD webpage.

EASD

EFSD is closely related to EASD and it is governed exclusively by the Executive
Committee of EASD, which itself is under the close supervision of the General
Assembly. EFSD applicants must be members of EASD.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria depend on the programme and are specified in the programme
request for application.

Industry Involvement

EFSD receives donations from pharmaceutical companies to fund diabetes research.
However, these companies have no involvement or influence on the review process
and funding decision and EFSD never passes any confidential (i.e. unpublished)
scientific data or the applicants’ contact information on to these companies. If a
company wishes to contact an applicant directly, EFSD seeks written consent from the
applicant who has the right to decline without any effect on his/her funding. Any IP
rights that might result from EFSD-funded research remains with the investigators and
their institutions.

Multiple Applications and Awards

Applicants may apply to several EFSD programmes at the same time but may only
hold one single EFSD award at any time (exceptions: Rising Stars Fellowships,
Mentorship Programme, Albert Renold Travel Fellowships).
