NCCRs are financed through grants awarded by the SNSF, but also from other sources. The home institutions involved in the NCCR also contribute a substantial amount of money. The available overall budget of the NCCR is further increased by monetary contributions from the project participants and third-party funds, which are generally invested by industrial companies.
The SNSF is financing the NCCR SwissMAP in its first funding period.

For each NCCR, the SNSF appoints a Review Panel composed of renowned experts whose task it is to evaluate scientific quality and the progress made in NCCR projects. The Review Panel of the NCCR SwissMAP consists of the following experts:
- Prof. François David, Institut de Physique Théorique, CEA/DSM/IPhT, FR
- Prof. Krzysztof Gawedzki, Ecole Normale Supérieure, FR
- Prof. Peter Goddard, School of Natural Sciences, Institute for Advanced Study, US
- Prof. Alice Guionnet, Unité de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, FR
- Prof. Daniel Huybrechts, Institut für Mathematik, Universität Bonn, DE
- Prof. Herbert Spohn, Zentrum Mathematik, TU München, DE
- Prof. Michèle Vergne, Institut de Methématiques de Jussieu, CNRS, FR
In addition, the National Research Council appoints three of its members as representatives to the panel:
- Prof. Friedrich Eisenbrand (Chair), SNSF, Division Programmes, EPFL
- Prof. Frank Scheffold, SNSF, Division Programmes, University of Fribourg
- Prof. Eva Bayer-Flückiger, SNSF, Division Mathematics, Natural and Engineering Sciences, EPFL

National Centres of Competence in Research leave their mark on the research landscape well beyond the SNSF funding period. They help to define key topics and sustainably change Swiss research structures. Thus NCCRs can lead to the creation of new professorships and courses of study as well as new infrastructures or platforms at the universities involved.
NCCRs operate as a network in which a large number of scientific partners are active. Working within these networks has borne fruit in the form of new research approaches and excellent scientific contributions.
Structures created by this NCCR until now:
The National Centres of Competence in Research not only engage in cutting-edge research, they also play an important role in transferring knowledge and new technologies to the economy and to society at large. They lead to the formation of start-ups, and the new insights have the potential to awaken the interest of politicians, globally active companies and the public at large.
Communication and knowledge transfer of the NCCR SwissMAP:
The National Centres of Competence in Research consciously promote promising young researchers and are committed to equal opportunities for men and women in research.
Measures taken by the NCCR SwissMAP to promote young researchers and gender equality:
