Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) regulations.
General information:
The Daniel den Hoed Foundation (DDHSt.) supports cancer research at the Erasmus MC. The starting
point for research and treatment in the cancer center is that every patient will receive customized
treatment, based on the most recent scientific insights.
General starting points:





Priority (scientific research versus patient care) conforming to the goals of the DDHSt.
Incidental, not structural (‘flywheel principle’)
Equipment, staff only on incidental (support) basis, aimed at recruiting/facilitating of high
potentials
Goals that are otherwise difficult to finance
Excluded are the DDHSt. Fellowships (started in 2013, 3-5 years)
Specific starting points:




Preferably broader than the own department; larger subsidies for research infrastructure with
new impulses for innovative research benefiting more than one research group
Projects will be assessed twice a year by the SAC
The SAC can be involved in initiating to define projects together with researchers
Stimulating high potentials by exchanging with (international) excellent institutes
Structure of submission and feedback:



