The scheme is aimed at researchers who want to consolidate their scientific independence in Switzerland.
On behalf of the Swiss government, the SNSF is launching the SNSF Consolidator Grants 2022 call on 1 March 2022. Recipients of an SNSF Consolidator Grant will be able to conduct their research in Switzerland and consolidate their scientific independence.
At the time of applying for an SNSF Consolidator Grant 2022, researchers must have a PhD or equivalent qualification awarded no less than 7 and no more than 12 years ago. In addition, they must have conducted independent research and made contributions to science without the involvement of their thesis supervisor.
Applications will be evaluated in two stages by international evaluation panels.
