SERI has announced yesterday that they have given the mandate for the transitional measure to replace the ERC 2022 Starting Grant to the SNSF (see SERI's updated factsheet and Q&A document). The SNSF will therefore implement their own SNSF-Starting Grant scheme, and more information and the call document will follow on the SNSF’s website. Researchers are requested henceforth to address either the SNSF or their local Grants Office with all questions regarding the SNSF Starting Grant.
