Is it possible to have two applicants in Research Project applications?

No, we do not allow co-applicants. The applicant has to be the PI of the research project the grant is applied for.

Can the funding period be extended?

Yes. If any funds remain after the initial one-year funding period, we approve extending the funding period provided that the remaining funds are used for the same project for which they were originally allocated.

What is the foundations scope?

We do fund everything that can be considered medical-biological research. We support projects in the field of oncology, neurology, parasitology, immunology, but also many others. We do not fund research that includes any Novartis products.

Can you give me any details on your decision?

No. Due to the high volume of applications, we cannot provide individual feedback.
