This is not mandatory for medical students accepted at a pre-graduate research institution.

Scholarship grants will be awarded students for implementation of a psycho-social cancer research project, which exceeds what can normally be expected from a thesis.
It must be confirmed that the applicant will get qualified guidance at the institution where the project is to be executed, and the place of work must state that they will support the applicant.
Special costs and equipment in connection with the project can be granted if the concerned expenses cannot be covered by the institution, where the project is being conducted.
If the application is granted, a report of approx. 2 A4 pages plus publication list must be submitted two months after the expiration of the scholarship at the latest.
How to use the online and reporting system:
Work on the application can be done in several sessions, until the applicant choses to submit it. Corrections and updates to the application can be made on the page overview (oversigt) and press edit (rediger).
Remember to save every time you have written or made corrections in the application, before leaving the step in question - press save changes (gem ændringer), which can be found both at the top and bottom of each step.
At all times the applicant can follow which mandatory items remain to be filled in at each step, partly by the colour of the square (red/green) (rød/grøn) in the heading, partly by the missing items appearing in red under the step in question in the left margin. All mandatory items must be filled in before submitting the application.
In several of the squares a maximum number of characters (spaces count) are stated. If this is exceeded the application cannot be submitted.
