As previously announced, the faculty is organising a first application round for Starter Grants. For this round, the scholarships for 2022 and 2023 have been merged and thus 3 scholarships are available for LUC, 5 scholarships for ISGA and 7 scholarships for the Institute of Public Administration.

Applications can be submitted by Assistant Professors who have received permanent employment from and after 1 January 2022, with an appointment of at least 0.7 fte, or have the prospect of permanent employment in 2023. 

The grants are for research projects, for which a budget must be proposed to use the amount for direct and indirect (overhead) research costs. The duration of the fellowship is 5 years.

Applications are assessed by a Faculty Selection Committee for Starter Grants, which includes 6 members from the institutes.

For all conditions and background information, please refer to this document and the call for proposals. The proposed format for the application described in the call for proposals can also be opened separately as a Word document.

For questions about the starter grants, please contact research-support@fgga.leidenuniv.nl. For questions about budget preparation, project control colleagues can be contacted at projectcontrol@fgga.leidenuniv.nl.
