Non-European Investigators

EFSD grant programmes and most EFSD programmes for young investigators offer
funding for researchers working in Europe and associated countries, while the EFSD
Albert Renold Travel Fellowship Programmes is open to young investigators
worldwide. For this programme, the home and/or the host institution must be based in
Europe or a Europe-associated country, and each must be in a different country. In
addition, EFSD offers a reciprocal travel research fellowship programme with the
Japan Diabetes Society that offers fellowships for Japanese postdocs to do research
in Europe and vice versa.

Peer Review Process

All EFSD applications are subject to peer review by a fully independent panel of leading
experts. Applications may undergo pre-review (or triage). In this event, any application
rejected at this stage will not be subject to a complete scientific review and no feedback
report will be provided to the applicant. Applications that undergo full scientific review
will receive written feedback. More information on the EFSD review process is provided
in the EFSD brochure “Funding Diabetes Research – EFSD Impact Report”.

Request for Application (RFA)

A Request for Application (RFA), or announcement, for each EFSD programme is
published 3 – 4 months before its deadline on the EFSD webpage. The RFA contains
information about the programme’s focus, eligibility criteria, funding amounts, expected
timeline and more. Information provided here is for information only; please read
the new/active RFA for precise updated details.
