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.

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

Technical Sciences

prof. Ing. Martin Vrbka Ph.D., Brno University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

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.

Physical Sciences

Roman Konoplya Ph.D., Silesian University in Opava, Institute of Physics

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

Mgr. Jakub Rohlena, Ph.D., Institute of Biotechnology, Czech Academy of 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.

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.

13. 02. 2023

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.

THINGS TO WATCH FOR – POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP 2024

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)
São Paulo, Brasil– São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP)

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

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.

02. 12. 2022

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.

POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP

For the second time, the Czech Science Foundation has announced the POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP (PIF) scheme in two modes: OUTGOING and INCOMING. The outgoing mode will allow early-career scientists to participate in a two-year fellowship abroad, where they will gain valuable experience at the early stages of their careers. In the third year, they will capitalize on this experience at a Czech institution. The second mode of the scheme (PIF INCOMING) will enable outstanding early-career scientists from abroad to work at a research institute in the Czech Republic. This tender is also benefiting young Czech scientists abroad who plan to return to the Czech Republic after their postdoctoral experience in another country. A total of 24 young scientists, who obtained their PhD’s no more than four years ago, have been awarded these three-year Fellowship grants, starting in January.

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.

New evaluation panel members wanted

04. 11. 2022

The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) will fund 10 new EXPRO projects and 23 JUNIOR STAR projects starting next year. These prestigious schemes both aim to promote scientific excellence through superior conditions – EXPRO is designed for seasoned scientists who have a groundbreaking idea, whereas JUNIOR STAR will allow outstanding scientists in their early careers to pursue their own research topics. The five-year projects will receive a total of almost one billion crowns.

“Only the best of the best projects receive funding within EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR, reviewed and recommended by international evaluation panels. Their investigators will enjoy better terms of funding during the five-year project period,” says Petr Baldrian, GACR President. “It is also important what these projects are supposed to bring – EXPRO is expected to deliver a breakthrough in a given scientific field, and JUNIOR STAR fosters the rise of a new, independent scientific generation.” Projects will, for example, focus on the development of new detector systems for particle identification, contribute to more efficient plant breeding through a more detailed understanding of evolutionary forces, improve the regulatory framework involving artificial intelligence, explore ways to reduce environmental burdens, and design more effective cancer therapies.

The evaluation process involves foreign scientists only. It takes place in two phases – each project that receives funding is first reviewed by six subject-matter experts, and it is then discussed in detail at a meeting of the Discipline Committee.

EXPRO

The aim of the EXPRO grants is to facilitate the development of excellent research, to set standards for excellent science, and to help overcome the barriers inhibiting the success of project proposals submitted to the highly prestigious European ERC grant programme. One of the obligations of the investigators is to apply for an ERC grant. The cost of EXPRO projects, which are mainly designed for seasoned researchers, can reach up to CZK 50 million over five years. The EXPRO grant calls will now be launched in even-numbered years only.

In this year’s tender, out of the ten winning projects, three will be carried out at the Masaryk University in Brno, two each at institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences, the Czech Technical University in Prague, and the Charles University. One grant has also been awarded to scientists from the Palacký University in Olomouc. Over CZK 450 million will be allocated to these projects.

JUNIOR STAR

The JUNIOR STAR grants are designed for excellent early-career scientists who completed their Ph.D. no more than 8 years ago, have already published in prestigious international journals, and have had significant international experience. The five-year projects with up to CZK 25 million in funding will give them the opportunity to become independent scientists and possibly to start their own research group to bring new research topics to the world of Czech science.

Starting next year, a total of 23 JUNIOR STAR projects will receive new funding, most of them at the Charles University (5 projects), the Czech Technical University in Prague (4 projects), the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague (4 projects), and institutes of the Czech Academy of Sciences (3 projects). More than half a billion Czech crowns is earmarked for these projects over the next five years.

Every year, the Czech Science Foundation (GACR) receives over three thousand project proposals from all areas of basic research. Over 400 renowned experts help to select the best ones. As the terms in office of about half of them are coming to an end in March 2023, the GACR is launching a call for nominations for evaluation panels. The system has been simplified by making the application electronic and allowing for self-nominations. The deadline to apply is 15 December 2022.

“Without the honest work of the panel members, the Czech Science Foundation would be unable to operate. They are the experts who thoroughly review all of the project proposals submitted, and compare them against one another. Then they recommend the ones that should be funded,” says the President of the Czech Science Foundation, Assoc. Prof. Petr Baldrian. “In order to be able to select as many outstanding experts as possible for our panels, this year we have decided to allow what we call self-nominations – anyone who meets the basic criteria can apply. Anyone whose project has ever been selected for funding should contribute to the evaluation of other scientists’ projects to the best of their ability. Of course, we continue to welcome nominations of experts by scientific institutions.”

There are 39 evaluation panels at the Czech Science Foundation, grouped into 5 discipline committees by the area of science. In total, there are over 400 experts from all fields who evaluate proposals for basic research projects in tenders for Standard Projects, POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS, and International Projects.

What are the main responsibilities of a panel member?

Being an impartial evaluator abiding by the Code of Ethics
Writing reviews for an average of 12-17 project proposals each year, and evaluating additional ones
Recommending independent external reviewers for the second phase of the evaluation
Monitoring the progress of the projects funded, and preparing on average 5-7 reports after project completions
Attending four panel meetings each year where projects are discussed

What are the minimum requirements?

Academic qualifications at the level of a Ph. D. or higher
Active scientific activity in basic research
Significant contribution to the advancement of knowledge and discovery
Experience with basic research projects as a principal investigator or co-investigator
Ability to assess scientific problems in the broader context of the development of the discipline internationally

What we offer

The opportunity to actively participate in the development of scientific excellence in the Czech Republic
Experience in evaluating and preparing grant proposals
Opportunity to become familiar with current trends in the field
Financial remuneration proportionate to the level of involvement in the evaluation process

BECOME A MEMBER OF AN EVALUATION PANEL – apply by 15 December 2022

Important note: If you do not receive confirmation of your nomination within one working day, please contact our helpdesk.

29. 09. 2022

On Thursday, 29 September, five scientists from various fields of basic research received the President’s Award of the Czech Science Foundation (GA CR) for outstanding achievements. This was the 19th award ceremony in history – for the first time it was presented by Petr Baldrian, appointed President of GACR last year, together with the Minister for Science, Research and Innovation Helena Langšádlová.

The award-winning research projects have provided important insights and methods that make it possible, for example, to identify and sharpen blurry objects in a video, determine the quality of soil based on satellite data, or use machine learning to determine which texts by important authors did not actually come from their pens. The award-winning scientists have also explored how genes are switched on and off in the cell, potentially leading to serious diseases, as well as what influences the rate of ageing.

“The quality of the projects funded – and therefore that of Czech science – has grown year after year. The award-winning researchers deserve our recognition all the more – the award-winning projects have been selected from dozens of scientific projects funded by the Czech Science Foundation, all of which are among the best of the best in the Czech scientific research and even in the world,” said Petr Baldrian, President of the Czech Science Foundation. “It is also gratifying that many of the projects have a potential way forward, towards applied use or understanding of the basic principles of nature and society.”

The President’s Award has been presented regularly since 2003 in recognition of outstanding results achieved in grant projects completed in the previous calendar year. The laureates are selected on the recommendation of several hundred scientists who evaluate projects funded by GACR. Each laureate receives a financial award of CZK 100,000. Prizes are awarded in five areas of basic research: technical sciences; life sciences, medical and biological sciences; social sciences and humanities; and agricultural and bio-environmental sciences.

Solving Inverse Problems for the Analysis of Fast Moving Objects

The award-winning project has developed a method that allows to significantly improve the image quality, despite the limited technical possibilities of recording. The method relies on the fact that more information can be extracted from a blurred video than from a single sharp image – such as the 3D trajectory and angular velocity of an object. This makes it possible to reconstruct the shape, appearance, and motion of a fast-moving object. Additional image sharpening will also find applications in scientific experiments, defence, healthcare and other fields.

Soil Contamination Assessment Using Hyperspectral Orbital Data

This junior project provided a breakthrough method for identifying contaminated soil using freely available satellite data. The newly developed method also uses machine learning algorithms to process the data – making it possible to extract the information of soil contamination from satellite images over large areas quickly, cheaply, and environmentally friendly. The method will allow new and accurate algorithms to be implemented in future space-based sensors to monitor global soil contamination over time and space.

The Evolutionary and Functional Relationship between LEDGF/p75 and Pdp3

As part of the project, the researchers looked at how selected types of protein stretches, previously identified in studies of leukaemia and HIV infection, can affect RNA chain elongation. They have gradually untangled a wide network of interacting cellular partners that influence this process. They were thus able to uncover a previously neglected role for unstructured protein domains in ensuring this cooperation. This discovery may contribute to a better understanding of cancer, viral or neurodegenerative diseases, and other conditions that are caused by disrupted gene expression.

Social Sciences and Humanities:

Mgr. Petr Plecháč, Ph.D. & Ph.D., Institute of Czech Literature, Czech Academy of Sciences

Stylometric Analysis of Poetic Texts

The project focused on identifying the authors of poetic texts using machine learning. In addition to commonly used textual features, such as word and phrase frequency data, the researchers also focused on formal features of the verse (verse rhythm, rhyme), which they were able to prove to significantly increase the reliability of the results. Using machine learning, for example, the team was able to determine which passages Henry VIII and Two Noble Kinsmen, both versed plays, were from the pen of William Shakespeare, and which were from his co-author John Fletcher.

Agricultural and Biological-Environmental Sciences:

prof. RNDr. Martin Reichard, Ph.D., Institute of Vertebrate Biology, Czech Academy of Sciences

Sources of Intrapopulation Heterogeneity in Ageing

Ageing is biologically a process of deterioration in the optimal functioning of an organism, and an increase in the risk of failure of some essential function. This project has uncovered the causes of the different rates of ageing in male and female African turquoise rockfish in nature and in the laboratory and described how environmental conditions, embryonic development and growth rate can influence the ageing process. Understanding the sources of differences in ageing rates is also important for addressing current issues in the ageing human population.

Czech Science Foundation

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.

23. 05. 2022

JUNIOR STAR grants are intended for excellent scientists in their early careers within 8 years of receiving their PhDs who have published in prestigious international journals before, and have had substantial experience abroad. The 5-year project allows them to receive up to CZK 25 million and gives them an opportunity to attain scientific independence or even start their own research team, which can bring new areas of research into Czech science. Only a fraction of submitted projects receive funding.
