For research proposals in project funding, there are two deadlines a year: April 1st and October 1st. Applications for the Sinergia funding instrument are accepted once per year, on January 15st.
A funding proposal is regarded as submitted in due time if received by the SNSF on the last day of the deadline or on the submission date (until midnight). If the last day of the deadline or the submission date is a Saturday, a Sunday or a holiday recognised under Swiss federal law, the deadline will be extended, or the submission date postponed until the next working day. For electronically submitted proposals, the SNSF’s system administrators define the rules regarding deadlines.
