GAČR - Grant Agency of the Czech Republic

General info

GAČR provides earmarked support for the solution of grant projects within groups of grant projects:

• Standard grant projects, in which projects focused on basic research are supported;
• JUNIOR STAR, which are aimed at creating an opportunity for excellent young researchers to build an independent group with several collaborators (working team) and modern equipment, which will revitalize the current structure of basic research in the Czech Republic;
• EXPRO - Excellence in Basic Research Grant Projects
• International grant projects (bilateral) aimed at promoting international cooperation in basic research; based on bilateral agreements between agencies, project proposals are assessed independently by both national agencies;
• International grant projects (LA grants), which are evaluated using the Lead Agency principle and are aimed at promoting international cooperation in basic research; on the basis of agreements between the agencies, project proposals are evaluated by only one of the national agencies, while the other accepts the results of the evaluation.
• POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP - INCOMING
• POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP - OUTGOING

The Grant Agency of the Czech Republic announces a public competition once a year, usually in February/March.

In case the project focus requires an opinion of the Ethics Committee, it is necessary to fill in the proposal in ISEP earlier according to the date of the Ethics Committee meeting and inform the department v/v.

Submission by data mail

Proposals/reports are submitted electronically in GRIS. Only the application-generated project proposal/report is delivered by data mail as a PDF file, watermarked FINAL and containing the characters '_CZ_f.pdf'. This is done by changing the "Error Report" button to the "Finalize" button when the form is completely filled in. When this button is pressed, the final version of the project proposal/report will be generated. The resulting file can be downloaded in the project proposal details under "Project versions". Before filling in the form completely, you can create drafts of the proposal/project report by pressing the "Draft" button. The generated pdf (final), unrenamed and unedited, is inserted into the ISEP, which you close and have e-approved (draft only). After approval, the draft/message will be sent via data mailbox to the GACR. You will then see the data message guide in ISEP and the pairing confirmation in GRIS.
