The May 2012 Grant Call HSR CRGs is open for application.
Grants are awarded based on scientific merits, implementability, and national significance. The HSR CRG seeks a wide range of research projects. To ensure that awarded research projects have local implementability and national significance, priority would be given to research projects which address the strategic areas and yearly themes (listed at Annex A) which are identified to be priority areas of national importance. The list shall be updated every year. While priority would be given to research projects which address the strategic areas and yearly themes, proposals whose topics do not fall within these areas and themes may still be submitted for consideration.
