Psykiatrian Tutkimussäätiö - Scholarship

Psychiatry Research Foundation scholarship

You will receive a research grant of a few thousand euros, which is paid out once a year. The money is intended to support psychiatric research involving human subjects, not animals or cells. The grant comes from the Foundation for Psychiatric Research (in Finnish: Psykiatrian Tutkimussäätiö sr), an independent organisation that has been supporting Finnish research in the field of mental health since 1971.

• Where you research: You work at a Finnish university.
• Nationality: Any nationality can apply.
