CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:The Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC) offers project grants for
  interdisciplinary research for researchers employed by an institution of 
 the ETH Domain (Eawag\, Empa\, EPFL\, ETH Zürich\, PSI\, WSL).\n\nAs one 
 of the Strategic Focus Areas of the ETH Domain\, the mission of SDSC is to
  accelerate the use of data science and machine learning techniques within
  academic disciplines of the ETH Domain\, the Swiss academic community at 
 large\, and the industrial sector.\n\nThe goals of the SDSC Collaborative 
 Data Science Projects are to help researchers and domain experts leverage 
 the state-of-the-art in data science to develop models and analyses to sup
 port their research. At the same time\, SDSC collaborative schemes aim at 
 supporting the application of techniques developed in research labs workin
 g on data science methods to real world scenarios.\n\nThrough Collaborativ
 e Data Science Projects\, the data science team at the SDSC makes availabl
 e to partnering ETH Domain research teams expertise which broadly covers d
 ata science modeling techniques including statistics\, statistical signal 
 processing\, machine learning\, deep learning\, and techniques from comput
 er vision\, natural language processing and optimization\, as well as comp
 utational methods for these techniques.\n\nMore information about ongoing 
 SDSC Collaborative Data Science Projects at https://datascience.ch/academi
 c-projects/.\n\n\nGeneral conditions:\n- Eligible Principal Investigator (
 PI) are employed by an institution of the ETH Domain (EAWAG\, EMPA\, EPFL\
 , ETHZ\, PSI\, and WSL).\n- PIs are typically Professors and Senior Collab
 orative Scientists. Postdocs are accepted if their application is backed b
 y a Professor (head of the lab)\, as co-PI.\n- Two-stages application proc
 ess\, with submission of pre-proposals and full proposals (upon invitation
 ).\n- Continuation of projects funded by a previous call can be submitted.
  They are considered as new proposals and subject to the same review crite
 ria as new proposals.\n\nDuration: max. 24 months\n\n\nFunding: 200’000 
 - 600’000 CHF\n\nEligible costs:\n- Salary for SDSC technical staff and 
 staff hired in the partnering laboratories. It is expected that the labora
 tories contribute in kind to the project.\n- Compute and Storage Resources
 \n- Travel costs to organize meetings and costs for dissemination of the p
 roject results (open access publications\, participation to conferences)\n
 \nSubmission:\nUsing the Preproposal template. Submission through the dedi
 cated website.\n\nTimeline:\nDeadline for submission of pre-proposals: 13 
 July 2020 (23:59 CEST)\nSubmission of full-proposals (upon invitation): Oc
 tober 2020\nFinal decision: 25 January 2021\nExpected project start: betwe
 en March-June 2021\n\nFor further information\, please have a look at the 
 call webpage\, call Documents\, or contact the Program Manager at program.
