DESCRIPTION:Fonds National Suisse (FNS/SNSF)\nResearchers may submit their
  pre-proposals in the frame of the National Research Programme "Big Data" 
 (NRP 75).\nNRP 75 will address the technical questions raised by big data 
 (infrastructures\, machine learning\, security)\, study the societal chall
 enges involved (social acceptance\, regulatory aspects and economic impact
 s) and facilitate the development of new applications.\nResearch projects 
 of NRP 75 are limited to a maximum of 48 months. The average budget of a p
 roject is expected to range between 300\,000 to 600\,000 CHF.Approved proj
 ects must start no later than six months after the date of the approval.\
 nA two-stage submission procedure is used: Pre-proposals are submitted fir
 st\, a selection of proposals is then invited so submit a full proposal. 
 The Steering Committee expects pre- and full proposals to be submitted in
  English\, unless it can be shown that either German or French is intrins
 ically better suited to the research topic. Before handing in the proposal
  in German or French\, the programme manager of the NRP 75 must be contac
 ted for approval.\nFor evaluation purposes\, the pre- and the full propos
 als must be written in the same language.Cross-border research projects: T
 he SNSF supports cross-border research projects if the competence of resea
 rchers from abroad is essential for realising the project. As a rule\, th
 e share of financing requested for researchers abroad may not exceed 30% 
 of the overall budget\, and the person responsible for the project abroad 
 may not be assigned the role of corresponding with the SNSF. For applican
 ts from abroad\, the norms and salary rates of the relevant country will 
 be applied mutatis mutandis\, with the SNSF maximum rates generally servi
 ng as the upper limit. Before submitting a proposal for a cross-border re
 search project\, please contact the programme manager of NRP 75\nFor ques
 tions regarding the submission process: Christian Mottas\, programme Mana
