Innovation Grants are a funding instrument of the NCCR Evolving Language that are for research projects that go above and beyond what is already planned in the Phase 2 Proposal in the range of CHF 50,000. Higher amounts will need to be forcefully justified.
Eligibility
Applications are open to groups of two or more NCCR members from at least 2 disciplines, and sponsored by at least one PI who will assume reporting and financial responsibility. External members’ participation in the Innovation grant is allowed.
Conditions
Applications should include, in a single PDF of no more than 2 pages, a concise description of the project, how it relates to and enhances the NCCR’s overall goals, a timeline with deliverables and, on a third page, an itemized budget.
Innovation grants can be spent on any items eligible according to the NCCR Budget Guidelines until the end of Phase 2.
