SNSF: National Research Programmes (NRPs)

The National Research Programmes (NRPs) promote research projects that contribute to solving societal challenges of national importance. Federal offices, research institutes, research groups or individuals propose topics and potential priorities for an NRP to the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). The Federal Council definitively selects the NRPs and assigns them to the SNSF for implementation.
Calls for NRPs are launched periodically. The requirements and procedure for submitting applications are set out in the relevant call documents and on the NRP-specific websites.
