- The Fellowship Awards offer:
- Dedicated research funding and monthly living expenses (about US $ 6,700)

- Support for relocation health insurance

- Fellows with partners and / or children under the age of 18 will be provided with additional family supplements. The exact terms of the award may vary from country to country.
Fellows are advised to seek salary support from their employer in their home country, especially if they come from a commercial organization.

If your fellow’s institution provides partial salary support, it will be supplemented by a federal fund to cover your monthly living expenses.
