Gebert Rüf Stiftung, Call for Projects 2011

The final date for submission for applications will be July 29, 2011. After the evaluation and selection the final decisions will be communicated in early November 2011.
The grants will be awarded to projects that develop and/or implement novel approaches or technologies for the diagnosis, characterisation and/or treatment of rare genetic diseases.
To qualify for support, the project must be rooted at a Swiss university, university hospital, federal institute of technology, at research institutions affiliated with Swiss universites or at a university of applied sciences or at a research institution affiliated with Swiss universities.
Support is not restricted to already existing research groups but also to new groups.
The programme will finance the costs of salaries, consumables and equipment; infrastructure costs must be covered by the host institution.
Preference will be given to clearly defined projects with a maximum budget of CHF 500’000 for a period not exceeding three years.
The project may also be concurrently supported from other sources (e.g. Swiss Confederation, cantons, foundations, industry), however, the programme is not going to support gap financing.
Projects must comply with the regulations commonly in force in the research sector and have the necessary authorizations.
The documents must be submitted by a member of the project management team.
