NWO modifies the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme
16 juli 2010
NWO has modified the Veni, Vidi and Vici subsidy programmes. With effect from 2011, a new submission condition applies to applicants in the Veni and Vidi rounds. Researchers may only submit a proposal on two occasions. Furthermore, the deadline for the Vidi round will be shifted from February to October.
Limited submission possibilities for Veni and Vidi
For the Veni and Vidi rounds, researchers may only submit a proposal on two occasions. Only applicants who had already submitted a proposal twice before 2011 may make a third submission via a transitional arrangement. For Vici, researchers may submit a proposal on three occasions.
New deadline Vidi
The deadline for the Vidi round in 2011 is 4 October. With this change the deadline is shifted from February to October. For applicants who fall outside of the submission conditions as a result of this shift in deadline, a transitional arrangement applies: applicants who gained their doctorates between 1 January 2003 and 4 October 2003 can submit a Vidi proposal. Researchers who do not need to make use of the transitional arrangement fall within the standard conditions of the Innovational Research Incentives Scheme.
In 2011, there will be one application round for each of the subsidy categories Veni, Vidi and Vici:
- Closing date for submitting Veni applications was 6 January 2011
- Closing date for submitting Vidi applications was 4 October 2011
- Closing date for submitting Vici pre-proposals was 31 March 2011
- Closing date for submitting Vici full proposals based on the pre-proposals is 30 August 2011
