Overview

NRPs embrace research projects that contribute to solving the key problems of today. Federal offices, research institutes, research groups or individual persons propose topics and potential priorities for an NRP to the State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). The Federal Council makes the final selection of topics, which it then refers on to the SNSF to address within the scope of an NRP.

Details:

NRPs are distinguished by the following characteristics:

  • they are solution-oriented and close to the practical realm;
  • they are interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary;
  • the research projects of an NRP jointly pursue an overall goal;
  • knowledge transfer and the communication of results are valued highly.

NRPs help to deliver scientifically proven solutions to Switzerland's most pressing problems. Selected by the Federal Council.

Eligibility

​The requirements and procedures for participating in an NRP are set out in the relevant call for proposals. In principle, the provisions of the SNSF Funding Regulations apply.
