SNSF Consolidator Grants:
On 1 May 2014, the SNSF will launch a call for SNSF Consolidator Grants, with the deadline for submission being 20 May 2014. These grants are part of the Temporary Backup Schemes, which offer researchers a temporary substitute for funding schemes of the ERC, from which Switzerland has been excluded.
In view of the current political situation, the SNSF will continue its Temporary Backup Schemes to ensure that researchers at Swiss research institutions are able to submit their proposals for Consolidator Grants to the SNSF. Should the political situation change significantly, allowing researchers to submit proposals to the European Research Council (ERC) in time for the deadline, the SNSF would inform accordingly.
