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 can be part of the applicants’ list on top of the NCCR members.
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.
