Funding Opportunities For Non-European People Going To Europe For A Phd In Bioinformatics

Question

[Flow]

There are two chinese students who would like to come to Spain to pursue a PhD in Bioinformatics in our group. I know of course the funding possibilities in my country but wonder if you know any European and non-European and Chinese funding calls or opportunities for doing PhD.

An extension of this questions; is it there around any funding/grant stack exchange site or which ones do you use to track grants?

For the second part of your question (about sites), you could go to this existing BioStar question:

Which Sites Are Useful To Find Or Advertise Masters And Graduate Programs In Bioinformatics?

The [?]BioHealth Computing Program[?] in EU Erasmus Mundus that I mention in that question currently is funded only for Masters students. We will start a small grad school with just a few positions soon though. Aiming to grow that of course.
