Research support at the Department of Chemistry

• In the planning phase: Contact the department's research support section (see right column)
• 4 weeks before the application deadline: Submit this form as soon as you plan to apply for funding (no later than 4 weeks before the application deadline / planned submission date): KI Proposal Information Form
  • The application will then be registered in the project application module and a project economist will be assigned to the project.
  • The budget can then be prepared in collaboration with the project economist in line with the TDI model
  • If applicable, provide access to the research advisor and project economist in the application portal (NFR, espresso, EU Funding and Tenders portal)
• 1 week before the deadline: The completed budget is sent to the department management (head of administration) for approval.
• Last week before the application deadline: Completion of formalities ("Letters of intent", "-support" etc) can only take place AFTER the budget has been approved.
• Upon submission: A copy of the application is sent to the research advisor.
• After submission: Notify the research advisor as soon as you have received feedback on whether or not the project has been awarded.

The administration does not check the academic content, but will quality-assure applications as they bind the department financially.

Current and planned calls are published on the Research Council's website. The institute works closely with the central team for external funding (BOA), which has special knowledge of the NFR's major programs SFF, SFI and INFRASTRUCTURE. For all other programs, the guidelines in the institute's general application schedule apply, see above.
