AI Contract Overview
The Swiss National Science Foundation is issuing a call for proposals for Ambizione grants, which are designed to support early-career researchers in establishing scientific independence through the leadership of an independent project at a Swiss higher education institution. Eligible applicants include researchers from Switzerland and abroad, as well as those in non-professorial academic positions. Funding is available for a maximum of four years and is offered in two forms: a full grant covering both salary and project funds, or a project grant providing only project funds. Recent regulatory changes require that all candidates maintain a link with Switzerland and stipulate that each supporting contact person may only assist one applicant. This represents the final call for Ambizione grants before a new postdoctoral funding scheme is introduced in 2028. Interested parties must submit their responses by November 3, 2026. An informational online event and Q&A session are scheduled for August 13, 2026, to provide further guidance on the application process.

Full Description
Ambizione grants help researchers from Switzerland and abroad enhance their scientific profile and become scientifically independent early in their career with a project of their own. Researchers holding non-professorial academic positions at higher education institutions are also eligible to apply. The SNSF awards two types of Ambizione grants for a maximum of four years. An Ambizione grant covers the grantee’s salary and project funds. An Ambizione project grant, on the other hand, comprises only project funds.
Changes to the Ambizione regulationsThe SNSF has decided that candidates must have a link with Switzerland. In addition, each contact person (e.g. a professor at the selected research institution) can only support one applicant. For further details, see the news published on 14 April 2026. This is the last call for Ambizione. A new postdoctoral funding scheme will be launched in 2028.
Information eventThe SNSF is organising an online event to present the Ambizione funding scheme on 13 August 2026, from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. (Swiss time). The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. Those interested can register now via the link below.
