The call is open to appl icants from all disciplines of data-driven health research.\n\nNDS are mul tidisciplinary consortia research structures involving a national network of clinical and science/engineering partners. NDS that build on pre-existi ng infrastructures and data sets are preferred\, and should encompass clin ical as well as analytical (e.g.\, multi-omics) data. NDS data must be mad e FAIR (findable\, accessible\, interoperable\, reusable) and of good qual ity suited for scientific analysis.\n\nSPHN and PHRT will together allocat e up to CHF 20 million. Each NDS can be funded for up to 36 months with a total of up to CHF 3-5 million from SPHN and PHRT (max. CHF 2.5 million fr om SPHN and PHRT each\, excl. matching funds).The funding regulations of b oth programs\, SPHN and PHRT\, must be fulfilled to receive the full amoun t:\n\n Funding by SPHN requires matching contributions by the applicants ’ institutions.\n Funding by PHRT requires full participation of affilia tes of the ETH Domain in the NDS consortium.\n\n\nWho can apply:\n\n\n Eac h proposal submission requires the designation of a main applicant (design ated NDS director) responsible for corresponding with SPHN and\, if applic able\, a second main applicant from the ETH Domain (designated NDS co-dire ctor) responsible for corresponding with PHRT.\n The main applicants need to be employed as faculty (or equivalent) for the entire duration of the p roject at a higher education institution (ETH/EPFL\, universities\, univer sities of applied sciences)\, or university hospital in Switzerland.\n Mai n applicants must have proven experience in managing large and ambitious c linical research environments.\n Faculties\, PIs or group leaders (or simi lar) employed at SPHN partner institutions\, i.e.\, Swiss higher education institutions (ETH Domain\, universities\, universities of applied science s) and university hospitals act as co-applicants for NDS proposals and are fully eligible to receive SPHN funding.\n Wider participation of various institutions is desired. As a general rule\, costs for all associated appl icants combined should not exceed 20% of the total grant from SPHN.\n For- profit organizations are invited to collaborate with an NDS consortium led by a SPHN partner institution and may participate as associated applicant s on a project basis\; however\, they must cover their efforts with their own resources.\n\n\nFunding and duration: Max. CHF 5 million for 36 months \n\nEligible costs:\n\n\n Personnel costs\, including costs of project man agement.\n Equipment costs linked to the development and implementation of the research data management systems (IT hardware\, software and licenses ).\n Usage fees linked to the usage of IT resources.\n Costs related to in formation management and data analysis.\n Costs for building the necessary infrastructures.\n Research costs incurred by ETH Domain consortium membe rs should be covered by PHRT.\n No overheads shall be paid for SPHN-funded projects.\n\n\nSubmission process:\n\n\n The selection process comprises two steps:\n \n Submission and evaluation of outline proposals\n Submiss ion and evaluation of full proposals\n \n \n From the received outline pro posals\, five to six applications will be selected for submitting a full p roposal. Of those\, three to four NDS projects can be funded\n Application s must be submitted to nds@sphn.ch (for SPHN funding applications) or to n ds@sphn.ch and phrt-office@ethz.ch (for SPHN and PHRT funding applications ).\n\n\nTimeline of the call:\n\n\n Submission deadline for outline propos als: 22 August 2021\n Invitation to submit a full proposal: Mid-November 2 021\n Submission deadline for full proposals: 27 February 2022\n Final sel ection: End of May 2022\n\n\nAsk your NDS-related questions during the NDS workshop on Monday 21 June 2021\, 10-13h. In addition\, the NDS program w ill be introduced in detail. Register for the workshop here and\, preferab ly\, submit your questions in advance to nds@sphn.ch. The workshop will be recorded and uploaded to the SPHN YouTube channel.\n\nFor more informatio n and application\, please have a look at the call webpage and the call gu idelines. You will find all application forms\, budget and support letters templates in the EPFL Toolkit.\n\nPlease contact research@epfl.ch for per sonalised advice.
