The SNSF exclusively funds research conducted for purposes that are not directly commercial. Pursuant to the Research and Innovation Promotion Act RIPA and the legal framework of the SNSF, no research grants are awarded if the relevant research is conducted for directly commercial purposes or if the persons involved in the research work do not enjoy scientific independence. The SNSF only funds research conducted within eligible Swiss-based non-commercial research institutions. Commercial institutions are not eligible.
Eligible experimental approaches and disciplines
All
Eligibility criteria for the Principal Investigator
Applicants must comply with the SNSF Funding Regulations and the SNSF Regulations on project funding.
Participation of Swiss-based partners requesting financial support from the SNSF is restricted to one project (Art.6.3, SNSF Regulations on project funding). They may, however, participate in other consortia projects as self-financed partners.
The maximum number of grants in the project funding scheme for the same funding period from the SNSF is limited to three grants, provided at least one grant is for an EU consortium project or has been granted on the basis of a lead agency, Weave or International Co-investigator scheme evaluation. Swiss-based investigators who already hold three SNSF grants in project funding cannot request financial support from the SNSF to participate in this call (Article 13 of the Amended Project Funding Regulations). The list of projects counting toward the maximal number of projects allowed can be found here.
Proposals with overlapping funding periods with ongoing SNSF projects are only approved if the research projects pursue different goals (Article 17 of the SNSF Funding Regulations).
Swiss-based investigators are not permitted to join research consortia as full partners at the stage of full-proposal submission. However, replacement of an existing Swiss-based, full partner may be permitted if duly justified. Swiss-based investigators joining as self-funded partner at full-proposal submission stage is permitted.
Eligible costs
Eligible costs are outlined in the SNSF Funding Regulations (Art. 28) and the SNSF General Implementation Regulations (Section 2).
Project overhead costs cannot be applied for. They are calculated on the basis of the research funding acquired by eligible institutions under eligible funding schemes. Overhead contributions are paid in retrospect at a flat rate to the institutions of the SNSF awardees.
Submission of the proposal at the national level
Mandatory, parallel submission of pre- and full-proposal via mySNF
Swiss-based full consortium partners who apply for SNSF funding to participate in this Call must submit pre-proposals and full proposals via mySNF at the same submission deadline of the consortium application. These submissions are mandatory and do not replace the submission of the consortium application to the Call Secretariat.
Pre-proposal forms are created by selecting “Projects: Partnership: OH AMR: Pre-proposal”.
Full-proposal forms are created by selecting “Projects: Partnership: OH AMR: Full proposal” and are to be linked to the pre-proposal by selecting its number in the data container “Relation to pre-proposal”.
In case of multiple, Swiss-based partners participating in the same consortium, only one application is to be submitted on mySNF, whereby one Swiss-based partner must act as “corresponding applicant” and the other Swiss-based partners are to be listed as “other applicants”.
Self-funded partners and international partners of the consortium applying for funding at different funding agencies from the SNSF and cannot be declared as “project partners” in the sense of article 11.2 of the SNSF Funding Regulations. For the submission via mySNF, they are to be declared as “consortium partners” instead and must apply for their funding at their respective research funding organisation.
Further guidance
Data management plan
Applicants will have to complete the DMP on mySNF once the project is approved, regardless of whether a DMP is requested by the consortium. The DMP has to cover the research data, which are collected, observed, generated or reused in the Swiss part of the project and has to comply with the SNSF Open Research Data Policy.
Grant management
Grants will be managed according to standard SNSF rules described in SNSF Funding Regulations. Yearly financial reports for the use of SNSF funds must be submitted via mySNF. As a final scientific report, the SNSF requests the submission of the final scientific report submitted to the OH AMR Call Secretariat. No other scientific report is requested.
