DESCRIPTION:The Gebert Rüf Stiftung (GRS) supports pre-competitive\, appl
 ied research (at Swiss institutions of higher education) that seems too ap
 plication-oriented for institutions of higher learning\, and too far from 
 the market for institutions that promote the transfer from research to app
 lication. GRS does NOT support purely fundamental research projects\, the 
 optimization of the already known\, business-oriented start-up projects\, 
 projects that have already commenced or isolated projects with little syne
 rgistic impact.\n\nGRS programmes\n\n	DesignPlus is aimed at interdiscipli
 nary project groups in the fields of science\, technology and education\, 
 conducting application-oriented R&D and educational projects in which desi
 gn – from conception to implementation – is central and not merely an 
 add-on. Design theory and disciplinary basic design research are NOT suppo
 rted. Both small projects (short duration\, up to CHF 50\,000) and larger 
 projects (2-3 years\, up to CHF 300\,000) are considered.\n	Pilot Projects
  provides start-up or initial funding for projects of nationwide importanc
 e\, which stand out as particularly original\, innovative\, surprising or 
 promising\, with major potential and suitable to serve as a model. For an 
 indication of the grant duration and funding\, follow this link.\n	Scienta
 inment is for interdisciplinary teams working on projects that address the
  need for a low-threshold way of communicating about education\, research 
 and innovation\, combining entertainment with the transfer of knowledge. I
 t promotes the development of new forms of science dialogue in collaborati
 on with representatives of non-scientific target groups in Switzerland. Ma
 rketing campaigns\, institutional PR work and science communication are NO
 T supported. An indication of grants duration and funding can be found at 
 this link.\n\n\nApplication\n\n\n	Informal Access: send a 1-2pp. abstract 
 of your project (and alternatives) well ahead of the chosen deadline to id
 ee@grstiftung.ch.\n	Deadlines for First Evaluation Stage: 1 February\, 1 M
 ay\, 1 September\, 1 December (every year).\n	Deadlines for Second Evaluat
 ion Stage: 1 March\, 15 May\, 1 September\, 1 December (every year).\n\nTh
 e selection process lasts approximately 6 months.\n \nEligible costs: sal
 aries for mid-level faculty and young academic talent\, material and infra
 structure costs\, among others. Overheads are not covered.\n \nFor more i
 nformation\, please have a look at the foundation’s application procedur
 e and funding strategy\, and contact the Research Office.
