VARTS A GRAHAM MEMORIAL TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIP 

American Association for Thoracic Surgery 

Description: 

The American Association for Thoracic 

Surgery invites applications for the Evarts A 

Graham memorial travelling fellowship. 

Fellowship grants support study by young 

cardiothoracic surgeons from outside North 

America at sites of their choice within North 

America. Goals of the programme are to 

broaden overall training and increase 

international contacts. 

Each fellow should plan to have one primary 

centre for their activities where they should 

spend six to nine months. The fellow should 

have identified an individual at that centre 

who will act as their sponsor and assist in 

planning the course of study at the host 

institution and at other institutions. In 

addition to the primary centre, the fellow is 

encouraged to spend shorter periods of time 

at other secondary centres to enhance the 

fellowship experience. Non-North American 

residents who have completed their formal 

training in general, thoracic or cardiovascular 

surgery and who have had less than six 

months’ prior training in North America may 

apply. Proficiency in English is a requirement 

for the fellowship. Applicants are expected to 

return to their native country on completion 

of the fellowship. The fellowship provides a 

stipend of US$75,000 and round-trip air 

travel.

Description: 

The Swedish Foundation for Strategic 

Research invites applications for the Ingvar 

Carlsson award. The aim of the programme 

is to identify and support young, wellqualified 

post doctorates who intend to start 

an independent, lasting and creative research 

career upon their return to Sweden. The 

research conducted should have a potential 

to strengthen Sweden’s future 

competitiveness. 

The foundation supports research in the 

natural sciences, engineering and medicine, 

with priority in the following areas: 

• life sciences; 

• life science technologies and 

bioengineering; 

• information, communication and 

systems technologies; 

• electronics and photonics; 

• material sciences; 

• manufacturing technologies and 

process engineering. 

Applicants must have received their PhDs at 

a Swedish or foreign university not earlier 

than 1 January 2008 (adjusted for 

documented parental leave and, in the case of 

MD-PhDs, clinical internship/residency 

period) and must have conducted continuous 

postdoctoral studies outside Sweden, at a 

university different from the one where they 

graduated, for at least 12 months prior to the 

application deadline. Grantees must become 

permanently active at a university in Sweden. 

Their work in Sweden should have started 

not earlier than 1 September 2011 and not 

later than 31 August 2013. In addition, 

applicants with a PhD from a university 

outside Sweden must have completed a basic 

academic degree within the Swedish higher 

education system, achieving a qualification 

equivalent to both of a Bachelor of Science 

and a Master of Science degree. 

The Foundation has set aside SEK36 million 

to fund 12 three-year grants, each of SEK3m 

(including overhead). The grants include a 

personal scholarship of SEK50,000 that will 

be awarded to each recipient. The grants 

should be used to assemble a research group.
