SNSF Starting Grants 2025 represent the SNSF’s highest level of career funding. The call enables researchers to carry out their own independent project and lead a research team in Switzerland. Applicants must have several years of research experience following their PhD – or an equivalent qualification or medical degree – during which time they have already contributed to scientifically independent and impactful research in their field.
SNSF Starting Grants are open to all disciplines and topics. Applicants can request a budget of up to 1 million francs for project funding over a five-year period. In addition, applicants can apply for funds to cover their own salaries. An extra budget has been earmarked to support additional outstanding female applicants.
