If your grant application is approved, we will put you in contact with the training center you selected to apply for the training program at their center, since acceptance in the training program is to be approved by the training center in which you are willing to train. 

Please note that the training date you will include in your training grant application is not final and will need to be reviewed and confirmed by the training center and the POEM group after you receive your training grant approval.

The grant application must be submitted at least four months before the start of training.

Please fill in all the fields and attach all the needed documents. Incomplete applications will be disregarded. 

At the end of this application, you will be required to submit the following documents:
