Stichting Astmabestrijding is a Dutch health-focused foundation that primarily supports projects benefiting people with asthma, COPD, and other respiratory diseases. Its giving is strongly research-oriented, with a mix of small scientific project grants, thesis support, young-investigator awards, and travel/training funding for conferences and research placements. The foundation appears to favor Netherlands-based researchers and clinicians, while also supporting Dutch researchers working abroad for specific programs.
Provides small to mid-sized grants, typically around €350 for theses, €700 for conference/training travel, about €2,500 for annual young-investigator awards, and roughly €30,000-€35,000 for project grants. Applications are deadline-based for most programs, with fixed spring and fall rounds for project grants and rolling submission at least one month before the activity or promotion date for training and thesis support; the award is annual and appears competitive.

Match your proposal tightly to asthma, COPD, or related airway disease outcomes, and be specific about clinical or scientific relevance. For project grants, plan around the fixed deadlines of 1 March and 1 October; for travel, thesis, and training support, submit at least one month before the relevant start or defense date. Young investigators should check the annual award window carefully and confirm eligibility, especially the under-40 criterion and the requirement that the work be done in the Netherlands or by Dutch researchers abroad.
