Instructions for the affiliation and removal of research staff

The form to request the creation or dissolution of research groups will be available throughout the year, providing flexibility to interested applicants. However, requests will be evaluated according to the submission date, understood as the complete delivery of the minimum required documentation for each member (in the case of creation). The evaluation cut‑off dates are:

  • Until April 30
  • Until october 30

There are two pathways for the affiliation of research personnel to existing ISABIAL research groups:

1. Affiliation of early‑stage researchers. Within this category, there are two options:

  • Research personnel undergoing Specialized Health Training (FSE).
  • Predoctoral research personnel (enrolled in a doctoral program).

2. Individual affiliation of research personnel; to be completed by any person interested in joining ISABIAL who holds a doctoral degree and/or is not enrolled in any of the training programs mentioned in the previous section.

The documentation required in each case and the procedure to submit it are explained below.
