Personal Research Funding Call 2024

Personal research grants are funding allocated for a high-quality R&D project carried out by a person or a research group working at an R&D institution.

There are three categories of research grants corresponding to the different levels of a research career:

• A postdoctoral research grant (PUTJD) is a grant aimed at supporting the launch of a research career of the people with a doctoral degree obtained from an Estonian university at a foreign R&D institutions or among highly qualified research groups.
• A starting grant (PSG) is a grant aimed at supporting the researchers with initial research experience to launch their independent research career at an Estonian R&D institution, to set up their research group, and to contribute to educating the next generation of researchers (incl. doctoral students).
• A team grant (PRG) is a grant aimed at supporting researchers in continuing their research career at an Estonian R&D institution, ensuring high-quality research, leading a strong research group, and educating the next generation of researchers (incl. doctoral students).
