The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has awarded two more Starting Grants to researchers in the Department of Biomedicine (University of Basel).
With their Starting Grants, the SNSF supports outstanding young researchers in Switzerland and enables them to lead a research project with their own team. Grantees at the pre-professorial stage of their careers will receive an appointment as assistant professor, if they haven’t already this position.
The SNSF Starting Grants are a transition measure launched by the SNSF on behalf of the federal government because Switzerland is still considered a non-associated third country in the European research programme Horizon Europe, and researchers in Switzerland are not eligible to apply to the ERC Starting Grant.
In 2023, the SNSF selected a total of 67 projects, two of which to the DBM Basel. The scientists will be supported by the SNSF with CHF 1.7 to 1.8 million over a period of five years.
