Guidelines for Overseas Scholarship for Endoscopic Medicine in the fiscal year 2018
- Article 4, Paragraph 5 - Articles of Incorporation
1. Targeted Applicants
This Overseas Scholarship for Endoscopic Medicine is established to allow young Japanese doctors researching endoscopic medicine (under 45 years old, in principle) to broaden their global view for the future medicine in Japan. They are financially supported when they as individuals or as a group make presentations at international congresses (excluding poster sessions).
Please notify the Foundation promptly if the applicant receives any grant from other organizations, so redundant support can be avoided. Application with the same subject may not be accepted if it was granted by any other organization or by the Foundation last fiscal year. There is no limitation in the number of research subjects in each society being applied for the grant unless they are submitted from the same department of the same hospital.
