BECC Incubator Grant

For BECC-PIs

What is the Incubator Grant?

The funds within the Incubator Grant are intended for projects that offer excellent and novel research addressing BECC challenges, where priority is given to projects that foster interaction between research groups and promote collaboration between LU and UGOT. Granted projects should clearly address one or more of BECC’s current Grand Challenges and should be in line with the overarching BECC Research Strategy 2020-2025 and the Grand Challenge strategic plans 2021-2025. The projects should entail substantial standalone efforts and should be feasible to achieve within two to three years, equivalent in scope to a postdoctoral project. The grant can cover well-motivated costs of salary (as specified in the specific aims of the call) and running costs. The grant is not aimed at funding larger infrastructure.
