Fulbright Agreement

Fulbright agreement for the creation of three scholarships

The Carla Mercurio Foundation and the Fulbright Commission for Cultural Exchanges between Italy and the United States of America have signed a three-year agreement for the creation of scholarships to be used for medical-scientific research into the rare neurological disease resulting from alteration of the ‘G Protein Subunit Alpha O1’ (GNAO1) gene. Reserved for Italian graduates enrolled in a doctorate or specialisation course, the winners of the ‘Fulbright’ competition will have the opportunity to travel to laboratories and universities in the United States for a 6-month research period, at the end of which they will have to return to Italy to complete the training they have undertaken.
