Fonds verstrekking Stipendia voor Onderzoekstudenten (FSO)

(Subsidy Fund for Research students)

On behalf of the SWOS a fund named “Fonds verstrekking Stipendia voor Onderzoekstudenten (FSO)” (meaning Subsidy Fund for Research students) was launched on July 5th, 2024. This fund gives in Suriname the possibility to provide a stipend to students of Surinamese institutions, while participating in research. With the initiation of this fund the SWOS lowers the barriers of including Surinamese college and university students in scientific investigation performed in Suriname.

The fund is fed by financial support of the SWOS and by donations.

Chief investigators of research which already gained approval of the Ethical Board of Suriname will, receive information on the application for funding after contacting the board of the SWOS by mail (info@swosresearch.org). 

The board of SWOS will decide, depending on the content of the request and the available funds, whether and how much funding is possible.
