Call for proposals Project funding
The project funding scheme enables qualified researchers to independently carry out projects on topics and research objectives of their own choosing.
Researchers can apply for funding to cover research costs and staff salaries as well as expenses related to scientific cooperation, networking and communication; however, they cannot apply for their own salaries. Applicants have until 1 April 2026 to submit their proposal via the SNSF Portal. Please note that you will need to create a new account for the SNSF Portal even if you already have a mySNF account. We recommend that you allow sufficient time to familiarise yourself with the portal and to enter the proposal.
Information event
The SNSF is organising an online event to present the changes on the project funding scheme on 10 February 2026, from 13:30 to 15:00 a.m. (Swiss time). The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Those interested can register now via the link below.
