General Information & Conditions for Application
PURPOSE & SUBJECT AREAS
The ICGEB Rearch Grant is part of the Collaborative Rearch Programme (CRP) of ICGEB and is a dedicated source of funding aimed at financing projects that address scientific problems of particular relevance for the host country.
The programme was established in 1988 with the aim of:
•stimulating collaborative rearch between ICGEB Member States and with the ICGEB Component laboratories •promoting the training of young scientists
•facilitating the creation of appropriate rearch facilities
The programme provides support for original rearch projects in basic life sciences, human healthcare, industrial and agricultural biotechnology, and bioenergy.
滩的成语ELIGIBILITY
Applicants for CRP – ICGEB Rearch Grant proposals should hold positions at Universities or Rearch Institutes in any of the Member States listed in Annex A.
Active collaboration with ICGEB Rearch Groups is welcome, but is not mandatory.
Investigating groups are not eligible to submit applications:
•if previously awarded projects have not been evaluated and satisfactorily concluded;
•if the University or Rearch Institute of the Principal Investigator is bad in Italy.
A special category of CRP-ICGE
B Early Career Return Grants is intended to fund young rearchers (not over 40 years old at the time of application) with an outstanding track record, who have spent a minimum of 2 years abroad and have recently returned to an ICGEB Member State to establish their own independent laboratories.
Applicants for Early Career Return Grants should have taken up, or be about to take up, a position as an Independent Investigator in an ICGEB Member State (except Italy). Applicants who have been in the country for more than two years prior to the deadline for submission are not eligible to apply for Early Career Return Grants.
The application form for Early Career Return Grants is the same as that for the standard rearch grants. Applicants for an Early Career Return Grant are however requested to indicate on page 2 of the enclod form that they are applying for this type of grant.

the content of the proposal.
Introduction: The introduction should provide a conci overview of the background to the project and highlight the question(s)/hypothes that are to be addresd.
蜡笔英语怎么读Rearch Project: This ction should be structured in a clear and logical manner, with clearly defined aims and milestones expected during the period of the project. Attention should also be paid to
highlighting where collaborations with ICGEB groups or laboratories in ICGEB Member States
are likely to help the implementation of the project.
Screening projects will be considered only if appropriately structured and defined. Collaboration: Collaboration is one of the main objectives of the programme and must be fully integrated into the project. Full details have to be provided on the role of each collaborator and his/her
contribution in the rearch project. A letter confirming the collaboration should be included. Training: Training is one of the major aims of the ICGEB grants programme and full details on the people to be involved and their role, as well as potential benefit to be gained from the
training need to be clearly addresd in the proposal.

esignated time-frame (maximum 36 months). The maximum annual contribution from ICGEB is Euro 25,000.
Funds can only be ud to cover expenditures that are directly relevant to the project. This may include purchasing consumable items, scientific literature and basic standard laboratory equipment. Travel and training costs can also be covered.
Salaries of the Principal Investigators and infrastructural support (e.g., normal administrative and overhead expens of the Institution, maintenance and rental of capital equipment, building, etc.) are not admissible and cannot be funded. An estimate of the foreen expenditure must be described on page 10 of the application form.
EVALUATION & AWARD NOTICES
The evaluation is bad on a two-tier procedure: in the first pha all proposals will be reviewed by a Committee of internationally recognized experts, who will triage all the applications and lect tho for the cond pha of review. The projects pasd to the cond pha will be nt out for peer-review by independent external experts. An ICGEB Committee will lect the proposals to be funded for 2020 on the basis of the peer-review evaluations. Plea note that the ICGEB Committee's dec
isions are final and not open to further discussion.
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of the final review by e-mail (no deadline can be indicated for this communication), and tho pasd to the cond pha will receive the comments of the independent external experts, as soon as the final lection has taken place (November/December 2020). The successful projects will start in January 2021.
AGREEMENT
In ca of a grant being awarded, a written operational agreement is made between ICGEB and the Principal Investigator’s Institute, in which the Institute undertakes to administer the grant according to the agreement and to provide the necessary support for the Principal Investigator during the entire lifespan of the project.
Equipment, material and literature purchad for the project through the CRP-ICGEB Rearch Grant funding programme should remain the property of the Institute after the project is completed. The ICGEB funding contribution should be acknowledged, as applicable.
The grant is paid in three, yearly instalments to the bank account of the Institute and the first paymen
t is transferred upon signature of the agreement by both parties. Relea of 2nd and 3rd year funds is subject to the satisfactory approval of annual reports submitted in a timely manner, according to the deadline and format specified in the agreement.
Plea note that no part of the grant can be transferred to any other Institution or organisation under any form of sub-contracting or out-sourcing arrangement.
