DESCRIPTION:The Swiss Foundation for Alcohol Research (SFAR)(link : https
 ://www.alcoholresearch.ch/en/1.html)\n\n	funds projects that promise to de
 liver new insights in the general field of alcohol research\n	awards fundi
 ng for scientific conferences\n	actively encourages research on neglected 
 fields\n	awards grants to promote talented young researchers\n\nPriority i
 s given to applications that have practical relevance for Swiss public hea
 lth in addition to their scientific value.\nThe Foundation Board is made u
 p of representatives from the Federal Office of Public Health\, the Swiss 
 Alcohol Board\, the Federal Commission for Alcohol-Related Issues\, Addict
 ion Switzerland and experts from various scientific disciplines\, e.g. med
 icine\, psychology\, biology and sociology.\nThe Foundation offers the fol
 lowing funding instruments:\n\n\n	Grants to researchers to conduct scienti
 fic studies (max. CHF 70K per year). Note that for applications that use a
 nimal experiments\, the relation to human biology must be explicitly demon
 strated. Basic research using only animal experiments will not be consider
 ed for funding.\n	Grants to university graduates (SNSF rates for 1 year). 
 Grants are awarded to university graduates\, usually up to 35 years old\, 
 provided their post-graduate study involves generating knowledge that can 
 conceivably be used in future alcohol research.\n	Funding for scientific c
 onferences\, particularly coordination meetings (max. CHF 5-10K). Funding
  can be awarded to conferences provided alcohol research is a central them
 e of the conference and it has a link to Switzerland. The application must
  state the specific purpose of the SFAR funding at the conference. The Fou
 ndation does not provide deficiency guarantees for conferences.\n\nCall de
