- candidates must be eligible to submit a new application for a Junior or Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship at the FWO Flanders in a next application round;

- Exception: For candidates of a Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship who are currently holding an FWO-postdoctoral fellowship and are applying for a prolongation of their FWO postdoctoral fellowship the rule mentioned above does not apply: in this category all applications that are not selected by the FWO will be evaluated with the possibility of receiving a BOF fellowship.
- Candidates can obtain a BOF Postdoctoral Fellowship only once in their career, either after applying for an FWO Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship, or after applying for an FWO Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship. If a candidate has obtained a BOF Postdoctoral Fellowship after applying for an FWO Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship, this candidate can no longer obtain a BOF Postdoctoral Fellowship after applying for an FWO Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship.Reapplying at the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO)
