Supporting MD/PhD research talent This UMC Utrecht's research talent program for medical doctors focuses on recruiting and preserving scientific top talents for the UMC Utrecht. Yearly, the board of directors grants four stipendia to medical students in the last year of their Master's, covering three years of salary for an MD/PhD project. In addition, the stipendium covers a mentoring program with masterclasses focusing on personal and scientific growth and development. ALEXANDRE SUERMAN STIPEND The Alexandre Suerman stipend is primarily granted to students who during their masters already actively participated in scientific research. Preferably, the research during the PhD is a continuation of the research performed during the master phase. Students are selected based on their curriculum vitae, output from earlier research, quality and originality of their research proposal and an interview. Each year, there are about thirty applications. In recent years, four applications were granted per year.
