Subject: OPEN CALL - Onni Talas Foundation PhD grants for 2023
Hi!
The Onni Talas Foundation has opened the call for grants for the calendar year 2023. The foundation supports marine research projects at Tvärminne Zoological Station, University of Helsinki, particularly concerning coastal environments.
The applicants can be at the final stages of their MSc studies (then the grant period starts after receiving the degree) or PhD students. Funding is applied for annually, but a timetable and estimated budget for the whole project should be included in the application. The personal grant is 2200 € per month, including a compulsory pension insurance fee that the student has to pay (https://www.mela.fi/en/grant-and-scholarship-recipients). The foundation also funds well-justified research expenses, such as travel, boat and laboratory costs at Tvärminne, consumables, and publication costs (one open access article á 1500 € per PhD thesis). The foundation does not fund personal computers.
The deadline for applications is 7.11.2022 and the applications are submitted using the form attached to this email. A popular summary of the research plan (max. 200 words), a research plan (max. 5 pages), a budget and a short CV should be attached to the application. The whole PhD plan and timetable should be presented. While the funding is granted for one year at a time, four years will be funded, provided that the project is progressing well. Applicants applying for continued funding thus have to include a progress report.

Kind regards, Joanna Norkko
