The One Health Training Grants (OHTGs) are a funding format of the One Health Platform (OHP) that is specifically aimed at young scientists.
The OHTGs offer financial support for a guest stay in a laboratory/research institution or with a practice partner, for example to learn a new method, analyse samples or datasets together, collect field samples, test new experimental approaches or similar. They are thus intended to support interdisciplinary exchange in the spirit of the One Health approach. The prerequisites for funding by OHP are that the exchange is interdisciplinary and related to One Health research.
The One Health Research Grant funds include:
- Travel costs for the applicant
- Accommodation costs for the duration of the stay
- Daily allowance, if applicable
Eligibility to apply:
All junior researchers who are members of the OHP are eligible to apply. The applicant must be employed at a German research institution. The conditions for membership are set out in the statutes. Junior researchers include Master's students, doctoral students and postdocs who completed their doctorate no more than 4 years ago. Parental leave and childcare periods can be credited to the postdoc phase.
The exact application guidelines can be found in the following document: Guidelines OHTG (Eng)
