New Frontiers in Research Fund 2020 Horizon Global Platform competition

Posted by Jaq-Lin Larder on February 3, 2020 in Research Funding

The New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) has launched the 2020 Horizon Global Platform competition to provide funding for Canadian researchers who are partners on successful projects funded through eligible calls under Horizon 2020.

NFRF 2020 Horizon Global Platform grants are valued up to $125,000 per year for up to four years (including 25% indirect costs). Funds should be used primarily to support the research activities and travel of Canadian participants.

A Canadian researcher or research team may submit one application per funded Horizon 2020 project. It is expected that the Canadian researcher or research team will be part of the larger Horizon 2020 research team that was awarded a grant. As such, the nominated principal investigator and/or their primary affiliation must be a signing partner on the Consortium Agreement for the Horizon 2020 project.

The list of Horizon 2020 calls that are eligible for the NFRF 2020 Horizon Global platform competition can be found here.

To apply for an NFRF 2020 Horizon Platform grant, Canadian participants on eligible Horizon 2020 calls must submit their registration form by February 27, 2020, or within 2 weeks of the Horizon 2020 deadline for their call, whichever is later.

The team must then submit a complete application within one month after notification of a successful outcome of the Horizon 2020 adjudication process.
