Knowledge Transfer Grants
Similarly to the previous funding cycle, we will provide our 3Rs Knowledge Transfer Grants. Younger researchers may apply for funding of a short-term stay with another national or international research group to learn a novel 3Rs approach and implement it at their home institution. Additionally, we will also fund projects where externals experts are invited to the home institution. Next call will likely be in the spring of 2025.
3Rs Support Grants
Supporting ongoing research activities relevant to the 3Rs. Increasing 3Rs implementation, education and/or communication. Grants here are generally expected to be maximum CHF 20’000.- and as such function to enhance or implement 3Rs activities. This scheme replaces the previous Refinement Grant, without the strict focus and potential 3Rs-classification issues we’ve encountered. Next call likely to be 2026, or late 2025.
3R Project Grants
This will be our main call for project funding, now every-other year. Open to academic researchers based in Switzerland aiming for significant 3Rs advancement. This effectively replaces the previous “Open Call” and “Targeted Call” schemes, and is setup to provide increased funding per call.
