Weave
Solicitation # CxcoLbDNRaUwHIoH
The Weave funding scheme allows researchers from two to three European countries to submit joint research proposals through a centralized evaluation process. Operating on a Lead Agency principle, a single agency evaluates the project based on its existing funding rules and forwards the decision to partner organizations for endorsement and funding determination. Each participating national agency finances the sub-projects conducted within its own country, with a goal of supporting applications that rank in the top 20 percent of the evaluation round. Applicants must be eligible for funding in their respective countries and must submit their proposals simultaneously to all involved funders. While the research plan follows the Lead Agency guidelines, all other data must comply with the specific requirements of each national agency. Submissions are generally required in English and are accepted by the Swiss National Science Foundation on April 1 and October 1. Researchers are limited to one project proposal every twelve months and a maximum of two simultaneous project grants, one of which must be a Weave, Lead Agency, or ICIS project.
