Research in all disciplines: Project funding is aimed at experienced researchers working in Switzerland who wish to obtain funding for a project of their own. The research topic can be chosen freely. Applications can be submitted by experienced researchers working at a university or other eligible institution in Switzerland. The grants cover direct research costs such as staff salaries, material resources, travel costs and other expenses. As the recipient of a grant, you may not simultaneously be employed as a staff member in a project funded by the SNSF.
