Maud Kuistilan muistosäätiö supports high-standard medical research in Finland, with a strong emphasis on enabling doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to work full-time on their projects. Its giving is fairly focused and academic, combining short-term research grants with an annual award that recognizes an outstanding teacher or supervisor in medicine. The foundation appears especially interested in strengthening the research pipeline and honoring mentorship that helps sustain medical research quality in Finland.
Annual, application-based research grants and a separate annual nomination-based award. Research grants are relatively modest, typically about €2,200 per month for up to 4 months, and are intended to support full-time research rather than cover travel or project expenses. The award is granted yearly and recognizes one merited medical teacher/supervisor.
