Announcement
of
NRF One Call for Proposals
During the last two years the National Research Foundation (NRF) has embarked on a process designed to enhance and simplify the NRF administrative interface with Researchers, Students and Designated Authorities. This has been done by streamlining its application templates and its Call Opening process, in line with the forthcoming Research Support Strategies by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the NRF.
The NRF therefore has pleasure in announcing the opening of the NRF One Call for Proposals.
The Call includes the following funding categories:
1) Concept Notes
2) Customised Programmes
3) Institutional Grants
4) Postdoctoral Grants
5) Research Grants: General
6) Research Grants: International
7) Research Grants: Without Student Support
8) Research Grants: Thuthuka
9) Travel, Training and Conference Grants
Applications must be submitted electronically on the NRF Online Submission System at https://nrfsubmission.nrf.ac.za.
All Framework and Funding and Application Guide documents are available on the NRF website at https://www.nrf.ac.za/funding/framework-documents. These documents should also be consulted for the relevant contact persons for each Funding Instrument.
Institutional Cut-off dates
Applications must reach the NRF by the cut-off dates as indicated in the table below. Institutions should therefore set their own much earlier internal closing dates for applications to be submitted to the Research Office or equivalent.
