FASoS is opening a call for its faculty staff to apply for:
• a budget for ART additional research time to start or finish a project or write a funding proposal
• a budget for SEO additional research time to prepare/rework and submit/resubmit a funding proposal for Horizon 2020; to write a Marie Curie visiting fellow application.
Submit your ART or SEO application to research policy officer Lidwien Hollanders by Monday 13 March 2017.
SEO has a specific focus on supporting grant applications of a certain kind; ART funds have no such restrictions. For this reason, projects that do not fall under SEO’s focus should apply for ART, while others should opt for SEO. It is impossible to apply for both schemes with the same project; however, it is possible to apply for both schemes with different projects.
SEO funds may be used as:
• buy-out and optional external consultant support to rework and resubmit grant proposals that were evaluated well above the threshold (track 2);
• buy-out and preparation costs for new Horizon2020 applications (track 3), including ITN, ERC and Societal Challenges;
• buy-out and preparation costs for an ERC application (track 4);
• to prepare Marie Curie visiting fellow applications (track 5), preferably incoming.
ART applications (previously known at FASoS as sabbatical hours) may be used as buy-outs from teaching to:
• finalise a research project (e.g. a high profile publication, special issue);
• commence a new research project;
• prepare/rework and submit/resubmit a funding proposal in any scheme that is not covered by SEO (e.g. Veni, Vidi). This may include the costs to pay an external consultant for advice. In that case, the costs will have to be “converted” into solver hours. If the funding scheme is covered by SEO, you cannot apply for ART funds for an application in this scheme;
• setting up pilot studies.
Submit your ART or SEO application to the research policy officer Lidwien Hollanders (l.hollanders@maastrichtuniversity.nl) by 13 March 2017. Please read the instructions in the pdf.
