Understand programme eligibility and conditions
The programme page shows eligibility, budget, documents and timeline, and tells you after signing in whether you can apply.
Steps
Open the programme page from “Research funding programs”.
Available funding programmes →Read “Eligible applicants” and “About this program”: objectives, target groups, “Eligibility criteria”, “What the program does not fund”, “Submission requirements”.
Check “Budget and duration” (funding ceiling and project duration), “Team roles” and “Required documents”.
Check the cycle “Timeline”, the “Evaluation criteria” and the “Frequently asked questions”.
Sign in to see where you stand in the open cycle: “Start your application” if available to you, or the reason it is not.
Sign in →
What happens next
You know whether you meet the conditions before you start. The remaining rules (participating college, restrictions, research priorities) are checked when you submit.
If it is returned, rejected or blocked
- “Not eligible for this cycle”: the programme is for faculty and your account is not recorded as faculty in the university directory, or you reached the cycle's participation limit.
- “Applying is not available to your account”: this is not a sign-in problem; contact the programme administration if you believe it is wrong.
- “Your account is currently suspended”: you cannot apply.
- “Your eligibility could not be checked right now”: you can start the application; any obstacle is shown in the form.
Notes
- Durations after closing in the timeline are indicative and depend on the number of applications and the committee's meetings.
- The participation limit applies to team members too, not only the principal investigator.
