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 write-up timeline. Extension grants can also help integrate new NCCR professors and to develop new lines of research in a task.
Eligibility
Applications are submitted by the Task Coordinators.
Conditions
Applications should include, in a single PDF of no more than 2 pages, a concise description of the tasks, their relevance for the NCCR’s overall goals, a timeline with deliverables and, for grants, on a third page, an itemized budget. Please note that grants can be spent on any items eligible according to the NCCR Budget Guidelines until the end of Phase 2.
