Call for Research Proposals for funding in 2018
Applicant’s Submission Deadline: 24 May 2017
The Thuthuka Funding Instrument is a key intervention of the National Research Foundation (NRF) aimed at supporting emerging researchers. Thuthuka research grants are awarded to academics and researchers that hold academic and/or joint academic and administrative professional appointments, at NRF recognised public universities, science councils and other public research institutions. Applicants must be employed at these institutions on a full-time permanent or full-time contractual basis that extends for the full period of the Thuthuka grant. Female applicants that are appointed on a fixed-term half-day appointment in order to accommodate family responsibilities, raising children of four (4) years of age and below, are also eligible to apply. For detailed information on eligibility and other criteria and on the application requirements and process, refer to the Thuthuka 2018 Funding Guide. Applicants are invited to apply for funding in one of the following three tracks:
· PhD Track: for applicants wanting to obtain a Doctoral degree within the funding period;
· Post-PhD Track: for applicants who aspire to become established researchers, by strengthening their research capabilities; and
· NRF Rating Track: for applicants who aspire to apply for a NRF rating within the six-year funding period.
