The scholarship in the amount of 150,000 crowns is awarded to postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows actively working in the field of natural sciences at universities and non-university research institutes in the Czech Republic who are also caring for a preschool child. The financial support is intended to cover childcare services so that scientists at the beginning of parenthood can continue to study or research and not lose contact with world science.

The Martina Roeselová Memorial Fellowship commemorates the memory of internationally recognized scientist Martina Roeselová of the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, which is where the fellowship was established. It has been awarded since 2016, and to date thirty-five young researchers from various Czech universities and research institutions have received it.
