3. Selection of Awardees Long-Term Fellowships The aim of the Long-Term Fellowship program is to provide opportunities for talented young scientists to obtain training in the world’s best laboratories and to enhance the mobility of young scientists between countries. Long-Term Fellowships provide support for periods of two to three years. The third year of support can either be used in the host laboratory or for a final postdoctoral year of training in a laboratory in the home country. Under the latter circumstance, support can be delayed for up to two years. Beginning with award year 2000, repatriating fellows will be eligible for Career Development Awards that provide an opportunity to establish independent research programs.

They were expected to be moving into a new area of research in order to broaden their scientific experience. Awards approved by the Board of Trustees and numbers of fellows funded since the beginning of the Program are shown in Table 3-5. In 2002, BoT recommended making 94 fellowship awards. For the 2002 competition, awardees needed to be within 3 years of receiving their Ph.D. at the time of application. They were expected to have at least one first author publication and to be moving into a new area of research. * These figures correspond to the awards approved by the BoT in March 2002 and may be subject to change.

Preference is given to independent young research workers, early in their careers. Applicants are expected to have a doctoral degree or equivalent experience in research. Applications can be made at any time during the year. Applications submitted in one fiscal year may be reported as awarded in the next fiscal year. Thus the statistics reported in this section reflect the multiple fiscal year processing of these fellowships. The awards made since the beginning of the Program are shown in Fig. 3-6 5 .
