Description

FRIPRO is an open, national competitive arena that covers all fields of research. Scientific quality is a criterion critical for funding. FRIPRO should contribute to strengthen Norway's national knowledge base to meet future challenges within industry and the society in general. FRIPRO is divided into three activities according to disciplines: Independent Projects – Humanities and Social Sciences (FRIHUMSAM) Independent Projects – Medicine, Health Sciences and Biology (FRIMEDBIO) Independent Projects – Mathematics, Physical Science and Technology (FRINATEK) The funding scheme for independent projects (FRIPRO) comprises a national competitive arena for research funding for projects in all fields and disciplines. Grants are awarded on the basis of the scientific merit of the project. Boldness in scientific thinking and scientific innovation demonstrated in the proposals will also be important when assessing grant applications. The FRIPRO scheme seeks to increase international mobility among researchers in the early stages of their careers and to help Norwegian applicants compete successfully under international funding schemes. It is therefore expected that research fellows under FRIPRO projects will incorporate a stay abroad into their fellowship period and that project managers of funded Researcher Projects and Young Research Talents projects will apply for grants from the European Research Council (ERC). Project managers of funded FRIPRO Toppforsk projects must apply for an ERC grant to be eligible to apply for FRIPRO funding again in a subsequent funding round. Duration: Open-ended Overall budget: The FRIPRO scheme is an open-ended funding scheme and the budget is determined annually.
