Internal Maastricht UMC+ funding

(Updated on 24 July 2025)

The Kootstra Talent Fellowship (KTF) is an internal fellowship that fosters innovative scientific research and allows young, talented researchers to develop their careers independently. It is a starting point for researchers who wish to apply for personal grants such as NWO-Veni or Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships.

You can apply if you have recently obtained your PhD (after October 1st, 2024) or when you are finishing your Ph.D. at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (fully or partially at FHML).

More information is available on the internal webpages (UMployee).

Applications can be sent to the Grants Office of the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML) by email: grantsoffice-fhml@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
