Open-ended | Personal Overseas Research Grant for doctoral and post-doctoral fellows and project managers for Young Research Talents projects in FRIHUMSAM | Choose |
The funding scheme for independent projects (FRIPRO) comprises a national competitive arena for research funding for projects in all fields and disciplines. The primary objective of the FRIPRO scheme is to provide support for research of very high scientific merit.
The FRIPRO scheme will promote:
The FRIPRO scheme seeks to increase international mobility among researchers in the early stages of their careers and to enable Norwegian applicants to compete successfully in international funding schemes. It is therefore expected that research fellows under FRIPRO projects will incorporate a stay abroad into their fellowship period and that project managers of funded Researcher Projects and Young Research Talents projects will apply for grants from the European Research Council (ERC).
The Research Council encourages research institutions to seek to ensure satisfactory gender balance among the project managers.
Please note: Planned calls for proposals are published as early as possible and at the latest six weeks prior to the application submission deadline. The text of planned calls for proposals may be subject to revision up to the official publication date six weeks before the deadline. Further information on all FRIPRO application types is available on the FRIPRO webpages and in the calls for proposals (see planned and active calls above).
Funding was announced for FRIPRO Toppforsk projects in 2015 and 2017. No funding will be available for FRIPRO Toppforsk grants in 2018.
The FRIPRO scheme is divided into three activities based on subject field:
This is the call for proposals for FRIHUMSAM. You must submit your application to the activity that offers the best fit for your project. Your grant proposal will be processed by the activity to which it has been submitted. If the grant proposal addresses topics in the interface between two activities, the Research Council may, in consultation with the applicant, decide to redirect the proposal for processing under another FRIPRO activity. For more information on the FRIPRO scheme’s three activities, please see the FRIPRO webpages.
Please see the FRIPRO webpages for information on the application review process.
At present, these projects have received funding from FRIHUMSAM. The overview provides access to summaries and other key information on all the projects under the programme. (The overview may contain information in Norwegian.)
The FRIPRO scheme only processes grant applications from Norwegian research institutions (see the Research Council’s definition of “research institution”, link to the PDF file at right) and Nordic research-performing institutions funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers or with public funding from at least three Nordic countries, including Norway. Please note that Nordic institutions are only eligible to submit grant applications for Researcher Projects.
Open-ended
The FRIPRO scheme is an open-ended funding scheme and the budget is determined annually. The budget for the individual calls for proposals is stipulated in the call for the activity in question.
