37th call for applications for the grant scheme run by the Pierre Ledoux–Jeunesse Internationale Foundation

The Pierre Ledoux–Jeunesse Internationale Foundation, which operates under the aegis of the Fondation de France, is launching its 37th call for applications in collaboration with the Institut Pasteur and the Department of International Affairs. The aim of the scheme is to fund biomedical research internships at one of the Institut Pasteur International Network institutes for young French Master's and PhD students studying biology, medicine, pharmacy or veterinary science at a university or higher education institution.

The deadline for applications is March 12, 2018.

The grants are for 3 to 10 months and offer recipients the opportunity of complementing their professional training and personal development with field and laboratory experience in infectious or parasitic diseases in a developing country within the Institut Pasteur International Network.

The application forms (available online) should be completed in French and returned by post to the Pierre Ledoux–Jeunesse Internationale Foundation by March 12, 2018. Applications should be based on a project that has been approved by the internship supervisor at the host laboratory and the director of the institute.
