Startup grants to young researchers that are setting up their own research group. Eligible applicants should have a position connected to a university or institute, alternatively a clinical position at a university-affiliated hospital, and have received a PhD year 2018 or later. Applicants can be granted no more than two times. Applicants must indicate if they previously received this grant and provide a satisfactory report to be considered for a second grant. Grants to applicants that have not yet received other support that covers salary and running costs for more than one year are prioritized.
The decision is final and cannot be appealed. Review notes are not distributed.
The application system for year 2024 is open between June 17th and August 16th at midnight. Each applicant should also send in a pdf-enclosure to the e-mail address provided below. Only applications with both a submitted electronic application and enclosure are accepted.
