| Category | Call for proposal |
Researchers may submit their pre-proposals in the frame of the National Research Programme "Big Data" (NRP 75).
NRP 75 will address the technical questions raised by big data (infrastructures, machine learning, security), study the societal challenges involved (social acceptance, regulatory aspects and economic impacts) and facilitate the development of new applications.
Research projects of NRP 75 are limited to a maximum of 48 months. The average budget of a project is expected to range between 300,000 to 600,000 CHF.
Approved projects must start no later than six months after the date of the approval.
A two-stage submission procedure is used: Pre-proposals are submitted first, 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 intrinsically better suited to the research topic. Before handing in the proposal in German or French, the programme manager of the NRP 75 must be contacted for approval.
For evaluation purposes, the pre- and the full proposals must be written in the same language.
Cross-border research projects: The SNSF supports cross-border research projects if the competence of researchers from abroad is essential for realising the project. As a rule, the 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 applicants from abroad, the norms and salary rates of the relevant country will be applied mutatis mutandis, with the SNSF maximum rates generally serving as the upper limit. Before submitting a proposal for a cross-border research project, please contact the programme manager of NRP 75
For questions regarding the submission process: Christian Mottas, programme Manager ([email protected] - 031 308 22 22).
For questions regarding salaries and eligible costs: Roman Sollberger, Head of Finances ([email protected] - 031 308 22 22).
