1. Project Title
2. Summary of the proposed research project (250 words) and 5 keywords.
3. The main research proposal, which may be structured on the following format:
a. Biological significance of the proposed research (250 words) including a statement on the significance of the project to NCBS-InStem and CRG sponsor’s research program.
b. Proposed work. A synopsis of the proposed project (1500 words) and References
c. Keywords (5 short keywords)
The online application form includes all of the necessary information for the selection process (scientific CV, list of publications, meetings, research experience and interests, fellowships obtained under competitive calls, etc.)

Candidates must ensure that all information is included before the deadline, including the reference letters. Incomplete proposals will not be considered eligible.

Once the application is submitted, an acknowledgement of receipt will be automatically sent by e-mail to the applicant. A reference number will be assigned, which should be included in any further correspondence.
