The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Booster Fund* is designed to help early-career academic researchers who have a substantive position (i.e. Assistant Professor level or equivalent) to develop their own independent research by awarding them a one-off grant of €25,000 (inclusive of any taxes) for 1 year (paid to the Host Institution). The application period in 2025 is 1 March to 2 May 2025.
This grant is to spend on small equipment and consumables and research-based travel in order to develop a novel research project – allowing the recipient to become more independent, i.e. to publish papers or generate data in order to help them to apply for larger grants from funding providers in the future.
Full details, including a link to the , can be found in the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Booster Fund section of the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ website. For queries, please email the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Fellowships office via the website’s Contact Us form.
*This scheme first opened in 2024, the 60th anniversary year of ¹û¶³´«Ã½.
