June 15 of every year is another busy time for the FEMS Grants Board. This is because two big FEMS Grants have deadlines on this day &#8212; the FEMS Research Fellowship (FRF) and the FEMS Visiting Scientists Grants (FVSG) . 

Grants with the same deadlines can easily confuse interested applicants. So FEMS devotes this issue of the FEMS Affiliates Letter to discuss these two different grants further.










The FEMS Research Fellowship (FRF)
Around 40 FRF grantees are supported by FEMS every year. FRFs are awarded to deserving young European scientists (scientists younger than 36 years of age). This is granted so that they can pursue their research of usually up to 3 months in a prestigious laboratory in Europe. However, the said laboratory must not be situated in the grantee&#8217;s country of residence. 

Applicants must be active microbiologists and members of a FEMS Member Society for at least a year.
Interested in the FRF? Please read the regulations thoroughly. If you have any more questions that are not handled in the regulations, please do not hesitate to contact our Grants Administrator Mrs. Marlies Jander at grants@fems-microbiology.org.

The FEMS Visiting Scientist Grant (FVSG)
The FVSG is granted to outstanding European scientists to lecture at special, scientific, microbiology meetings within the European area but outside their country of residence which are not supported with a FEMS Meeting Grant. 

There is no age limit for this grant and it is not for individuals to apply for. The organisers nominate the receiver of the grant and apply for it directly with the FEMS Central Office. Only one outstanding European scientist is awarded the grant per meeting. 















If you are interested in the FVSG, please read the regulations before contacting our Grants Administrator Mrs. Marlies Jander at grants@fems-microbiology.org.
