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.
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 and rationale for the additional needs, their relevance for reaching the task’s goals, the deliverables and their timeline and, on a third page, an itemized budget.
Please provide details of how the requested funding will lead the project to completion, including a timeline for publication.
The extension grants can be spent on any items eligible according to the NCCR Budget Guidelines until the end of Phase 2.
