ESCEO-AMGEN Fellowship Award 2011
The European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis (ESCEO) is pleased to announce two Osteoporosis Fellowship Awards, courtesy of a grant of Amgen.
The intent of these awards is to provide support to eligible institutions to develop and enhance the opportunities for physicians or PhD’s training for careers in Osteoporosis.
Recipients will be selected primarily on the basis of the quality of the research proposal outlined in the application. Only one application per fellow may be submitted.
The Scientific Advisory Board of the European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis (ESCEO) will review the applications.
This fifth ESCEO-Amgen Fellowship Awards will be presented during the “Fellowship Awards Ceremony” at ECCEO11-IOF. The recipients will each receive $50,000 US for 1 year to support their fellowship stipend. (Institutions may be asked to certify that funds will be applied towards stipend only.
