Extension grants (normally limited to CHF 50’000) offset costs necessitated by unforeseen costs increases within a Task, such as more and/or longer expeditions, additional experiments, or time-consuming analyses to make results interpretable and publishable. Please provide details of how these requirements will be met, including a timeline for writing up and submitting publications resulting from the research.
Extension grants can also help integrate new NCCR professors and to develop new lines of research in a task, in which case the financial limit may be expanded.

Conditions
Application should include:
- one single pdf max 2 pages with:
- a concise description of the project

Please note: All PIs listed in the grant application will receive an email and will have to confirm their support for the application. If they fail to do so, the application will not be considered admissible.
