About the program
The Joint Fellowship Program for Huntington’s Disease Training funds 6 clinical fellows in a highly regarded multi-disciplinary clinic in Europe to observe and learn more about a general or specific aspect of Huntington's disease (HD).
Selected fellows will be awarded a €2,400 EUR grant for accommodations and living expenses, and reimbursement for additional travel (up to €1,000 EUR) to their participating host site.
Neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, physiotherapists and clinical geneticists working in Huntington’s disease clinical practice and research are eligible to apply.
I feel better equipped to manage my HD patients following this wonderful opportunity. I have also established links with other clinicians in this field who I can contact regarding both clinical and research questions in the future.”
Eligibility
The applicant must be:
- Under the age of 40, or less than five years since the award of their final professional qualification.
- A Board-Certified Neurologist, Psychiatrist, Physiotherapist, Psychologist or Clinical Geneticist, or in training for Board Certification

“The first is the active participation to research fields (i.e., HD animal models) and to different systems I was not familiar with. […] This broadened my clinical and research perspectives and improved my knowledge of HD.”
“The clinic was a great setting for understanding the varied clinical phenotype of HD.”
“The fellowship will positively influence my clinical and research practice thanks to the new skills and knowledge acquired. This experience will especially impact on my research carrier […].”
