For the 20th time: Czech Science Foundation President’s Awards Presented to Excellent Scientists

The President of the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) together with the Minister for Science, Research and Innovation awarded the five best scientific projects at the 20th anniversary ceremony of the Czech Science Foundation President’s Awards yesterday (12 October 2023) at the Martinský Palace. The award recipients from all areas of basic research have contributed to a significant expansion of knowledge in the field and will lead to further applications.

The winning projects will contribute to the comprehension of black holes, the functioning of the vertebrate brain, and the communication strategies of politicians. The other award-winning research has the potential to contribute to more effective cancer treatments and improved lubrication of human joints.

“We have awarded the best of projects over the last twenty years – ninety of them in that time. The breadth of the award-winning projects shows that Czech science is world-class in all fields of research,” said Prof. Petr Baldrian, Czech Science Foundation President. “Like the years before, this year it was extremely difficult to select the best projects, because if a project receives funding from the Czech Science Foundation, it is almost guaranteed to be high-quality research thanks to our evaluation system.”

The Czech Science Foundation President’s Award has been regularly awarded since 2003 in recognition of outstanding results achieved in grant projects completed in the previous year. Recipients are selected on the recommendation of several hundred scientists who evaluate projects funded by the Czech Science Foundation. Each winner will receive a prize of CZK 100,000. The awards are presented in five areas of basic research: Technical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Medical and Biological Sciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, and Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences.

The award ceremony took place as part of the celebration of the Czech Science Foundation’s 30th Anniversary, attended by Helena Langšádlová, Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, Miloš Vystrčil, President of the Senate of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, representatives of universities, the Czech Academy of Sciences, and dozens of other distinguished guests.

Award-Winning Projects

Investigation of Synovial Fluid Viscosupplementation and its Impact on Friction and Lubrication

Viscosupplementation is a treatment for osteoarthritis that involves injecting a hyaluronic acid-based product between the cartilages of a joint. The award-winning project investigated whether this treatment could improve the mobility of joints. The project created a joint simulator that analysed the friction and lubrication film between the articular cartilage. The project has clarified the mechanism of viscosupplementation, and provided new insights to improve the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Testing Strong Gravity via Black Holes

The project has developed a new method for describing black holes in various theories of gravity, including those that differ from the prevailing Einstein theory. The differences between the theories are most apparent in the extremely strong gravity around black holes. This new method makes it possible to study these differences and to combine theory with experiment to help understand gravity under extreme conditions. This way, the project contributes to a full understanding of gravity and its potential applications in energy and other areas of research.

Medical and Biological Sciences

Respiration-Linked Metabolic Limitations of De Novo Pyrimidine Biosynthesis

The project investigated the metabolism of cancer cells, which influences their ability to form tumours and respond to treatment. The chain responsible for cellular respiration was found to have different functions in dividing and resting cells – the former promoting the production of organic compounds, the latter stress resistance. This difference has important implications for cancer treatment which can affect not only cancerous cells but also healthy ones. The project also discovered a new metabolic pathway that produces a key substance for cancer cell growth – aspartic acid. These findings may contribute to new innovative cancer treatments.

Social Sciences and Humanities

Mgr. Alena Kluknavská, Ph.D., Masaryk University, Faculty of Economics and Administration

Contestation of Truth: Public Discourses on Migration in Central Europe in the Post-Truth Era

The award-winning project dealt with the relativisation of truth in political communication, where facts give way to opinions. It created a theoretical framework and a tool for analysing the post-factual communication of politicians, especially in the context of polarising issues such as migration. By combining manual and automatic textual analysis, the researchers found that post-factual communication is close to both populism and disinformation. It manifests itself primarily through hostile anti-elitist accusations against opponents of creating and spreading false information and lies, and a focus on emotionality, negativity and incivility rather than facts and expertise.

Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences

Mgr. Pavel Němec, Ph.D., Charles University, Faculty of Science

Evolution of Brain Complexity and Processing Capacity in Amphibians and Reptiles: A Quantitative Approach to Understanding Tetrapod Brain Evolution

The brain and its neural capacity are crucial to the evolutionary success of species. However, even species with small brains can be intelligent because of the high density of neurons in the brain. The project researchers found that birds and mammals – unlike amphibians and reptiles – have experienced brain enlargement and an increase in the number of neurons during evolution, made possible by the increased metabolism of species with constant body temperature. Furthermore, a link between the number of neurons in the hindbrain and cerebellum and the innovativeness of birds in acquiring food has been demonstrated.

Czech Science Foundation Celebrates 30th Anniversary

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) today celebrates 30 years since it first funded science projects. During its existence, the Czech Science Foundation has funded over 20,000 basic research projects worth more than CZK 71 billion (nearly EUR 3 billion).

“It took less than a year to establish our Foundation, launch the first call for proposals, and start funding the first scientific projects. Even then, the management was inspired by the best practices of renowned agencies abroad, such as the National Science Foundation in the USA. The latter even recently became our partner. This allowed the Czech Science Foundation to become a world-class agency within a short period of time,” says the President of the Czech Science Foundation, Prof. Petr Baldrian.

“Thirty years of existence is our commitment for the future. The Czech Science Foundation is pursuing global priorities such as open science, supporting scientists in their early careers, balancing professional and scientific life, and implementing those priorities in the Czech scientific environment. We are constantly expanding and improving our grant opportunities to meet the needs of Czech scientists,” notes Prof Baldrian.

The thirty year anniversary of the Czech Science Foundation will be commemorated throughout the year. The history and the present of the Czech Science Foundation will be presented on the pages of the publication Czech Science Foundation: the Path of Excellence in Basic Research and in a special feature of the “Vesmír” journal, which will be published in September. You can also follow the Czech Science Foundation’s birthday wishes from prominent personalities on Facebook. The celebrations will include the presentation of the Czech Science Foundation President’s Awards in October, which will also be an anniversary event – this year they will be awarded for the 20th time.

The Czech Science Foundation is the only provider of grants earmarked for basic research projects in all fields of science in the Czech Republic. In 2023, it has a budget of CZK 4.7 billion (approx. EUR 195 million). Over 11,000 expert reviews are produced each year to evaluate projects. In addition to the main calls for proposals, funding is also provided for narrowly focused calls for scientists in their early careers, but also for seasoned researchers, and for international research projects.

Belgian and Ukrainian agencies looking for foreign reviewers for panels

The Belgian agency Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) and the Ukrainian agency National Research Foundation of Ukraine (NRFU) are looking for foreign experts for their review panels, spanning all fields of basic research.

For the Belgian FWO, the deadline for submissions is May 1st, 2023. All necessary information can be found on the website of the FWO.

For the Ukrainian NRFU, the call is open continually. All information can be found on the website of the NRFU.

If you have any questions, please contact the relevant foreign agency (the FWO at vacancies@fwo.be, the NRFU at nrfu@nrfu.org.ua).

Tenders for 2024 Projects

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) is announcing calls for proposals for tenders in the area of Standard Projects, JUNIOR STAR, POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP, and International and Lead Agency projects. The submission deadline is 4 April. The winners will be announced in November this year. Projects which win funding after passing the multi-stage evaluation process will be launched in 2024.

“The aim of the Czech Science Foundation is not only to promote basic research, but mainly to increase its efficiency. The fact that scientists compete with each other for support is motivating – they have to submit an excellent project to receive funding. Even the preparation of the Project Proposals results in a thorough reflection on the scientific topics they can further address,” said the President of the Czech Science Foundation, Prof. Petr Baldrian. “The evaluation of the projects is carried out by experts on the given topics – over 400 of them work for GA CR from various fields and institutions. Thousands of foreign scientists then evaluate the projects that make it to the second round of selection.”

One of the upgrades in the new tender terms intended to facilitate the work-life and work-family balance is the option to pause the project for 6 to 18 calendar months, or to extend the project for up to 18 months. “This is yet another measure to help our investigators during difficult times – not necessarily maternity or parental leave, but also long-term illness or caring for a loved one,” added the President of GACR.

For this year, several rules have also been modified to allow for greater flexibility in the use of funds allocated – transfers of funds between items of the basic structure up to CZK 100,000 will be possible without submitting an request.

The submission deadline for Proposals for projects starting in 2024 is 4 April 2023. The winning proposals will be announced in November this year, except for international tenders, which will be announced in coordination with the partner agency abroad. GACR has brought on board a new partner agency, the HRZZ of Croatia, and joint international projects involving HRZZ may now be submitted. The new EXPRO tender will not be launched until next year.

Standard projects

Standard projects are the backbone of targeted aid for basic research in the Czech Republic, with GACR having financed hundreds of them each year since its founding in 1993. Through these projects, the best basic research in all areas is supported. Standard projects are usually worked on for three years and their proposals may be submitted by all researchers and their teams without limits on the length of their scientific careers. Project proposals are evaluated on the basis of a multi-level selection process.

JUNIOR STAR

The JUNIOR STAR tender is almost always met with great interest by applicants from the ranks of excellent scientists in basic research who are at the beginning of their career (up to 8 years after being awarded their Ph.D. titles) who have had their work published in prestigious international journals and have significant foreign experience. The goal of these five-year projects with a budget of up to 25 million CZK is to give the applicants a chance to gain scientific independence, including potentially founding their own research group to bring new topics into Czech science. Similarly to EXPRO projects, the review of JUNIOR STAR project proposals is carried out solely by external reviewers.

POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

For the third time, GACR is announcing the POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP (PIF) tender this year. This type of grant is aimed at scientists who have finished their doctoral studies in the past four years. It can take two forms – either allowing a Czech scientist to carry out two years of research at a prestigious research centre abroad (with the condition of spending a third year at a research centre in the Czech Republic) or allowing a Czech postdoc or foreign scientist to come carry out research and begin their career at a Czech research centre.

International projects

Projects worked on by scientists and their teams in cooperation with researchers from partner states are a separate category of grants. Project proposals are either evaluated by both agencies (bilateral cooperation), or they are recommended for funding by one agency and the other adopts its recommendations (Lead Agency cooperation).

Bilateral-cooperation

Lead Agency

For reasons on the side of the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ), a decision on the launch of this year’s call, in which GA CR would be the evaluating agency, will be made in the coming weeks.

Further international calls based on Lead Agency cooperation may be launched during the year.

Scientists of the Czech Republic and Croatia to Work Together

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) and the Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ) have agreed on cooperating. Researchers from both countries will be able to submit proposals for joint scientific projects. Projects worth several million crowns a year are expected to receive funding.

“Croatia is not only a summer holiday destination, but also a country that cultivates quality science. The cooperation between our agencies will allow us to fund joint projects – that is, to connect research teams that will share know-how, experience, but most importantly, knowledge that will complement each other,” said the President of the Czech Science Foundation, Prof. Petr Baldrian.

The cooperation was established within the European Weave initiative, of which GA ČR is a founding member. It will have connected 12 European agencies funding basic research by 2025. In the coming years, GACR will expand its cooperation with the existing 11 agencies to also include institutions from Belgium, Norway and Sweden, and possibly other countries.

Only one agency at a time will evaluate scientific projects proposals, and the other will accept the results of its evaluation (which is referred to as the Lead Agency principle).

About HRZZ

The Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ) was established in 2001 by the Croatian Parliament. In 2021, it funded 780 scientific projects worth more than CZK 700 million. HRRZ finances scientific projects in seven grant schemes.

 

About GACR

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) is the only institution in the Czech Republic that provides targeted aid from public funds to basic research projects only. The objectives of GACR are to fund basic research projects carried out by scholars and their teams, both seasoned scientists and young ones in their early careers, to create suitable and attractive conditions for scientists, and to promote and expand international scientific cooperation. GACR launched its activities in 1993.

Balanced pond fish nutrition concept

Thanks to a project supported by the GACR, Associate Professor Mraz’s research team is investigating how balanced fish nutrition can influence nutrient excretion and combat undesirable eutrophication in Central European carp ponds, thus helping to counteract negative environmental impacts.

Central European standing water bodies, the main part of them consisting of carp ponds, suffer from strong eutrophication (an excess of available nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus). This eutrophication is often associated with the currently conducted feeding (farming) management in these fishponds, which does not consider the balanced nutritional needs of the growing fish. Our present study provides an understanding of how fish nutrition shapes nutrient excretion and eventually eutrophication. The study concludes that in spring and autumn, the status quo diets lead to inefficient resource use and indirectly to poor ecological conditions. Improved efficiency of ecosystem resource use and tackling eutrophication may be achieved by ‘bio-manipulating’ these fishponds towards a more balanced fish nutrition. The study calls for balanced pond feeds that optimize resource utilization efficiency and stimulate fish to better exploit natural food – in such a way that ecosystem services are maintained.

The authors feel future researchers could carry the baton forward with the novel understanding this article offers, especially the ecological management of these important pond ecosystems and the cleaner aquatic food production from the pondscapes of Central Europe.

diet_scenarios

A graphical summary of the presented concept. High = beginning of the vegetative season (lacking carbohydrate energy in ponds). Low = end of the vegetative season (lacking some indispensable amino acids in ponds). Balanced = short transition time (beginning-to-mid summer) when zooplankton-zoobenthos is sufficient and cereals are introduced in a pond. Suspended losses = losses through faeces (undigested nutrients). Reactive losses = losses through gills and urine (discarding of digested nutrients). Nutrient loading from fish stock to a pond ecosystem is at a minimum when the pond diet is balanced.

What public tenders will GACR be announcing this year?

As every year, GACR will announce the Standard Projects tender this year, which is aimed at all scientists. Other announced tenders will include International Projects, in which joint projects can be proposed by investigators from two or more countries, and the JUNIOR STAR and POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP projects for scientists at the beginning of their career. EXPRO projects will not be announced this year and will make a return in 2024. Tenders will be announced roughly in the middle of February. The tender documentation of this year’s projects will only be changed slightly, meaning that scientists can already begin planning their projects.

Standard projects

Standard projects are the backbone of targeted aid for basic research in the Czech Republic, with GACR having financed hundreds of them each year since its founding in 1993. Through these projects, the best basic research in all areas is supported. Standard projects are usually worked on for three years and their proposals may be submitted by all researchers and their teams without limits on the length of their scientific careers.

It can take two forms – either allowing a Czech scientist to carry out two years of research at a prestigious research centre abroad (with the condition of spending a third year at a research centre in the Czech Republic) or allowing a Czech postdoc or foreign scientist to come carry out research and begin their career at a Czech research centre.

International projects

Projects worked on by scientists and their teams in cooperation with researchers from partner states are a separate category of grant.  In 2023, it will be possible to submit project proposals to GACR in cooperation with scientists from these states:

Tenders reviewed by GACR will be announced along with the other tenders halfway through February. The Lead Agency tenders reviewed abroad will be announced throughout the year. It is assumed that during this year, it will be possible to also submit project proposals together with Croatian scientists (Croatian Science Foundation – HRRZ).

In order to maintain the stability of the grant environment and the lowering of administrative intensity, GACR plans to only make small changes in repeatedly announced tenders. Therefore, you can use the tender documentation of previous years while preparing your project proposals.

To make sure that no tender has escaped your notice, we recommend you keep up to date of all currently announced tenders or sign up for the GACR newsletter (see the bottom part of this page).

Czech scientists will work with the USA in the area of cybersecurity

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) has successfully expanded its cooperation with the largest American grant agency, the National Science Foundation (NSF). Henceforth, scientists from both countries will be able to co-operate on scientific projects in the field of cybersecurity. It is expected that several million CZK a year will be expended in the support of this research topic.

“In the light of the state of current global security, cybersecurity is a key area which must be given attention. American scientists being willing to co-operate with their Czech peers in this field is a clear sign that the USA considers the Czech Republic a trustworthy partner,” said GACR President, prof. Petr Baldrian.

Since August 2021, Czech and American scientists have been able to request joint funding of scientific projects in the areas of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, plasma sciences, astronomy and astrophysics. “The American agency chooses its partners very carefully. This scientific co-operation, the largest between our two states, was over two years in the making. We trust that in the future, we will successfully expand it to encompass other areas of research, not only cybersecurity,” said the GACR President.

The expenses of individual projects shall be shared between the agencies, with the Czech side of the project being financed by GACR and the American side by the NSF. It is expected that either side will support scientific projects in the area of cybersecurity with several million CZK each year.

About the Czech Science Foundation

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) is the only institution in the Czech Republic which provides targeted support through public funding for basic research projects – in the current year, this support amounted to roughly 4.7 billion CZK. Through announced public calls, GACR finances the scientific projects of both erudite researchers and their teams and young scientists at the beginning of  their career. Each year, GACR supports hundreds of research projects on the basis of a transparent multi-stage selection process.

About the National Science Foundation

The National Science Foundation is an independent government agency of the USA founded in 1950 which is responsible for the support of basic research. In 2023, it had a budget of roughly 9.9 billion USD and its grants were the source of funding for roughly 25% of university-led basic research in the United States. It supports around 11 000 projects per year via highly prestigious calls. NSF funding was integral to the creation of many revolutionary technologies – throughout its lifetime, it has supported the research of 258 scientists who went on to become Nobel Prize winners.

Czech Science Foundation to Fund over 500 New Projects Starting this January

In its largest grant scheme, the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) will fund 459 new projects in all areas of research starting next year. These projects will receive CZK 3.5 billion over the next three years. In addition to Standard Projects, the results of the POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP tender for early-career scientists have been announced. Together with the EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR projects, which were announced a month ago, GACR will fund over 500 scientific projects worth a total of CZK 4.5 billion starting next year.

“I would like to warmly congratulate all the applicants who succeeded in our Standard Projects tender, and wish them all to achieve their goals and deliver impressive results with the support of the funding from the Czech Science Foundation. It is extremely difficult to succeed in our tenders, which we have been running every year for almost 3 decades – this year only about one-fifth of the best proposals succeeded,” said Petr Baldrian, President of GACR. ” Also thanks to a properly designed selection process – where all successful projects have to receive the backing of both Czech evaluators and independent specialists from abroad – we can be sure that we are selecting the best projects and that the funds earmarked for basic research are used effectively.”

Standard Projects

Standard Projects are the core of targeted aid for basic research in the Czech Republic. Starting in 2023, GACR will be funding 459 new Standard Projects worth CZK 3.5 billion. All researchers and their teams, regardless of their age and experience, may submit proposals for projects with a duration of up to three years. This project type has been funded since 1993.

Announcement of the Results of the POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP INCOMING 2023 Public Call for Proposals

 

The three-stage evaluation process, which all Standard and POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP project proposals go through, involves over 400 experts from each scientific discipline, and dozens of other international reviewers.

Last month, the winning JUNIOR STAR and EXPRO projects were announced. The JUNIOR STAR scheme is targeted at outstanding early-career scientists to enable them to form a scientific team, and pursue their own research topics. The EXPRO grants, on the other hand, are targeted mainly at experienced scientists to provide them with exceptional support. Both types of projects have a five-year duration, and a total of 33 projects will now be funded from next year onwards.

International projects to be funded are announced in consultation with the co-financing agency in the respective other country in the course of the calendar year.

Evolution of aposematic patterns in large Müllerian mimetic systems

Insects dominate the Earth’s biodiversity; nevertheless, the vertebrates are primarily employed as models in evolutionary and conservation research, and insects have been neglected. The team headed by Ladislav Bocak from the Czech Advanced Technology and Research Institute (CATRIN) in Olomouc carried out the GACR project “Evolution of aposematic patterns in large Müllerian mimetic systems” that focused on highly diverse tropical net-winged beetles as a novel model for the study of mimicry. They identified high diversity of their model group, including ~1,000 unnamed species.

Prey’s signaling of unpalatability to potential predators is intensively studied, but researchers have traditionally focused on interactions between a few butterflies and birds. The results enabled the formulation of the principles under which evolves the similarity of an unpalatable aposematically colored prey and its mimics (i.e., Batesian and Müllerian mimicry). Most mimetic systems are more complex, with up to a hundred interacting species and multiple predators with different visual perceptions, including spiders and insects.

bocak_klasifikace

The phylogeny-based classification is a basis for any evolutionary research.

“We based our research on 30-year field experience and material collected in the whole tropics, especially the mountains, where many aposematically colored species interact in restricted areas. Current DNA sequencing methods allowed us to base our research on robust phylogenetic relationships and rapid molecular inventory. With such an approach, we can study large and complex biological systems and formulate hypotheses on processes that govern the evolution of mimetic patterns,” says Prof. L. Bocak.

bocak_struktury_signalizaceThe structures employed for aposematic signaling can have a common origin (elytral costae of various species, left) or are just an illusion if differently colored setae resemble true costae (Micronychus pardus, right).

The entomologists from CATRIN used phylogenomics and Sanger data to elucidate relationships of net-winged beetles to other families, defined main lineages, and the internal relationships in the focal group that contains 2,000 sequenced species. Phylogenetics identified the uniform brightly colored dorsum as the ancestral aposematic signal of net-winged beetles. The now dominant bicolored elytra originated later and only relatively recently evolved complex bands and stripes that added an arrangement of differently colored body parts to the signal. Dr. M. Motyka, as a co-investigator, says: “We showed the trend to the increasing color distance between the prey and various backgrounds and, later, the higher internal contrast between bright and dark body parts. Our results show that the evolution enhances the strength of the aposematic signal but that some beetles retain a simple ancestral signal despite their long-term coexistence with relatives emitting a more effective warning. Besides such an intrinsic limit, allochthonous species enter the area of endemic color patterns and further increase the complexity of interactions. The success of dispersing species depends not only on the numbers of individuals but also on the strength of their signal and the ability of predators to get familiar with an additional type of warning in the large multipattern communities.”

bocak_molekularni_fylogenetikaWe can date the origins of aposematic patterns and recover their ancestral areas with molecular phylogenetics.

The authors further studied if the species could react to the complex situation by polymorphism. Therefore, they learned with the next-RAD method population-level relationships and proved quite common origins of mimetic polymorphism that has not been reported in net-winged beetles. Additionally, they documented that the differences in the male and female body size can direct the evolution to the sexual polymorphism in the aposematic coloration.

bocak_drevomilovitiUnrelated beetles commonly copy the net-winged beetle patterns. This example shows two subfamilies of net-winged beetles and one species of false click beetles.

The team from CATRIN builds the research program on extensive field research and the collaboration with the Binatang Research Center of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum in London.  The data for monitoring tropical diversity with phylogenomic and mtDNA data enabled the identification of ~1,000 unnamed species in the DNA database. The unknown diversity was predicted, but now the specimens and molecular data provide an undisputable benchmark for evaluating diversity loss.

The outputs of the project were reported in over 20 journal publications.
