The Czech Science Foundation (GACR) is announcing calls for Project Proposals for Standard and International Projects, POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP, and Restart Grants.
The deadline for submissions is 31 March 2026. The EXPRO and JUNIOR STAR tenders will be announced in early March.
“Grant calls and tenders bring a healthy degree of competition to the research environment and give the best researchers a chance to succeed. Anyone can apply, and if they successfully pass the evaluation carried out by leading scientists in the field, scientists can develop their ideas into excellent research. This means that the conduct of research does not depend solely on the will of the head of the department, and grant tenders promote academic freedom,” says Milan Jirsa, GACR President. “In addition, the preparation of a grant project helps organize thoughts and develop ideas – and this can be useful even if other projects win over yours in the tender.”
Project proposals for projects to be launched in 2027 may be submitted until 31 March 2026. The results of the tenders will be published on 26 November this year. The results of international tenders and calls will be announced later, depending on our arrangements with the agencies in other countries.
For this year’s tenders, in view of the long-term underfunding of the GACR budget, the rules for multiple submissions and concurrent new projects have been modified compared to previous tenders. The aim is to provide funding to as many outstanding researchers and their teams as possible.
