SNSF Consolidator Grants 2023

Due to Switzerland’s current status as a non-associated third country in the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, the federal government has mandated the SNSF to launch the funding scheme SNSF Consolidator Grants 2023. The scheme is intended for researchers who wanted to apply for an ERC Consolidator Grant with the aim of conducting research in Switzerland and consolidating their scientific independence.

The scheme is open to all fields of research; researchers of any nationality may apply.

Applicants can request a budget of up to CHF 1.75 million for a maximum of 5 years. Additional funding of up to CHF 870,000 may be requested for specific costs.

You are eligible for this call if:

• You have a PhD or equivalent degree awarded >7 and ≤12 years ago at the time of submission.
• You have shown research independence and made contributions to science without the involvement of your PhD supervisor.
