Tenders for 2025 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 3 April. The winners will be announced in October and November this year. Projects which win funding after passing the multi-stage evaluation process will be launched in 2025.

„The Czech Science Foundation has been supporting all areas of basic research for 30 years. This year is no different. Scientists can submit project proposals to our traditional calls for proposals, whether it is the call for standard projects or more focused calls for, for example, early-career researchers. After two years, we are opening the EXPRO call for excellent scientists again,“ said the GACR President, Prof. Petr Baldrian, Ph.D.

The submission deadline for Proposals for projects starting in 2025 is 3 April 2024. The winning proposals will be announced in October and November this year, except for international tenders, which will be announced in coordination with the partner agency abroad.

The project proposals will be assessed in a multi-stage transparent evaluation process, in which expert reviewers from other countries also participate substantially in addition to experts from Czech research institutions. Among the winners, there is not a single project which has not been reviewed internationally. In case of the highly selective EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR projects, this process is the responsibility of international experts only.

 

Standards 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.

 

EXPRO

After a year’s break, the EXPRO competition is once again open for the most excellent Czech scientists. A few selected researchers and their projects are going to raise five-year funding for their teams. During this period they will be able to draw up to 50 million CZK, i.e. an average of CZK ten million per year. The projects with the greatest potential to be part of a breakthrough in their field will be selected for funding by international panels. The research team will also be required to submit a project proposal to the European Research Council (ERC).

 

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

  • Taiwan – National Science and Technology Council (NSTC)
  • South Korea – National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF)

This year, the call with the Brazilian agency FAPESP cannot be launched due to the partner agency’s request to modify our mutual cooperation. The call is expected to be renewed next year.

Lead Agency

  • Austria – Austrian Science Fund (FWF)
  • Germany – German Research Foundation (DFG)
  • Poland – National Science Centre (NCN)
  • Slovenia– Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS)
  • Switzerland – Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)
  • Luxembourg – Nation Research Fund (FNR)
  • USA – National Science Foundation (NSF) – GACR is always a partner agency
  • ADDED 23. 2. 2024: Croatia – Croatian Science Foundation (HRZZ)

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 Lead agency, will be made in the coming days.

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

Czech Science Foundation to Fund over 350 New Scientific Ideas

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR), the largest Czech grant funding provider for basic research, will fund 357 scientific projects being launched next year in the Standard Projects and POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP grant schemes. These projects will receive CZK 2,75 billion over the next 3 years. The projects receiving funding cover a wide range of basic research topics.

“The Czech Science Foundation has been in existence for 30 years. In that time, it has become an established agency of European calibre, established a number of international partnerships, promoted modern trends in science, gone fully digital and, thanks to its grant schemes, targeted scientists at all stages of their careers. But one thing has not changed in 30 years: GACR supports excellent basic research. Calls for the Standard Projects funding scheme have been published annually since GACR’s inception and, as in all national agencies, have formed a fundamental pillar of science funding, covering the broad spectrum of basic research. In addition, it is important to add that Standard Projects are only ‘standard’ in terms of their size; only top scientists will receive funding,” says GACR President Prof. Petr Baldrian.

Scientific project proposals go through a two-phase evaluation process involving more than 500 Czech scientists and hundreds of experts from other countries. They guarantee both the expertise and objectivity in the evaluation process.

Standard Projects

Standard Projects form the basis of targeted aid for basic research in the Czech Republic. Starting in 2023, GACR will fund 332 new Standard Projects worth CZK 2,63 billion. All researchers and their teams, regardless of their age and experience, are eligible to submit proposals for a project that has a duration of up to three years. This project scheme has been funded since 1993.

POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

The POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP (PIF) grant scheme is awarded in two versions: OUTGOING and INCOMING. The former allows early-career researchers to undertake a two-year fellowship abroad, where they gain valuable  experience in the early phase of their careers. In the third year, they will capitalize on this experience at a Czech institution. The latter version (PIF INCOMING) enables excellent early-career scientists from other countries to work at a research institute in the Czech Republic. This scheme is also enjoyed by young Czech scientists abroad who plan to return to the Czech Republic after their postdoctoral experience. A total of 25 young scientists who completed their PhD studies no more than four years ago have been awarded these three-year grants starting in January.

 The shortlisted international projects are now awaiting confirmation from our international partners who are providing their co-funding.

The results of the JUNIOR STAR scheme were announced in early November.

JUNIOR STAR Grants Help Establish Seventeen New Research Teams

Starting next January, the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) will fund seventeen new JUNIOR STAR projects. The highly selective tender is aimed at excellent early-career scientists coming to the Czech Republic from abroad or with significant international experience. With an exceptional funding amount of CZK 25 million for 5 years, the scientists will be able to build new scientific teams and focus on new areas of research.

“The JUNIOR STAR scheme is a unique opportunity for early-career scientists to gain scientific independence and enrich the Czech environment with new research topics. The interest in these grants is enormous. However, we can only afford to fund the best of the best,” said GACR President Prof. Petr Baldrian. “This is the fourth year of this grant scheme. We are delighted that it allows us to attract scientists from prestigious universities abroad to work for Czech science. These are, for example, scientists working in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Norway or Germany. We believe that the researchers have the potential to answer important questions in their field of research and build new teams that will enrich Czech science.”

Projects in all areas of basic research are eligible for funding. Scientists in the new projects will focus, for example, on accelerating drug development, optimising 3D printing of alloys, computer vision using neural networks, and the impact of bilingualism in the first year of human life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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).
