What can you seek funding for?
Important information about what to enter in the project budget.
Support may be granted for the following costs:
- Payroll and indirect expenses, related to researcher time (including research fellowship positions) at the research organisations participating in the project. For doctoral and PostDoc fellowships, this funding is limited to a max. three person-years.
- Equipment. This encompasses operating and depreciation costs for scientific equipment and research infrastructure necessary for the execution of the project.
- Operating expenses, which comprise costs for other activities that are necessary to carry out R&D efforts under the project.
If the project includes doctoral and post-doctoral research fellowships and there are concrete plans in place for research stays abroad for the fellowship holders, the costs of such stays may be included in the grant application. The project manager may seek funding under that call in the course of the project period for research stays abroad for research fellows affiliated with the project.
Scope of funding
NOK 12–20 million is provided in funding per project under this call. There are no requirements for own funding, but if RCN rates for research time in the university do not cover all costs associated with a researcher or recruitment position, this must be covered through own funding.
