The aim of the Consolidation Grant (COG) is to encourage more advanced, solid projects, filling the gap between smaller instruments and the SNSF's and other funding agencies’ larger calls. It promotes sustainable, long-term research cooperation between Swiss and Latin American scholars to produce accountable scientific outcomes in domains identified as priorities by both Latin American and Swiss institutions. The goal of this instrument is to provide a solid impulse to prepare larger applications (Anschubfinanzierung). In addition to organizing collective workshops, conferences, and fieldwork, the COG fosters initiatives to support the mobility of young researchers (PostDocs, PhD students, and MA students).
Each proposal must include one principal investigator based in Switzerland, affiliated with an eligible Swiss institution, and one principal investigator in Latin America. Multilateral partnerships with additional Latin American countries are welcome.
Applications are open from May 1st to July 31st.
