Academy of Finland: research plan guidelines for September 2018 call

The Academy of Finland has reorganised the structure of the research plan to better correspond to the review of applications. Please fill in your research plan on a separate tab in the online application.

The September 2018 call will have five different research plan templates depending on the funding scheme.

The research plan is no longer a separate appendix. You may, of course, still draft it as a single document and then – after the call has opened – transfer it in parts into the fields on the tab in the online application. · research plan guidelines for Academy Project applicationshttp://www.aka.fi/globalassets/10rahoitus/liiteet/tutkimussuunnitelman_rakenne_ah_200618_en.pdf · research plan guidelines for targeted Academy Project applicationshttp://www.aka.fi/globalassets/10rahoitus/liiteet/tutkimussuunnitelman_rakenne_suunnattu_ah_200618_en.pdf · research plan guidelines for Academy Research Fellow applicationshttp://www.aka.fi/globalassets/10rahoitus/liiteet/tutkimussuunnitelman_rakenne_at_200618_en.pdf · research plan guidelines for Postdoctoral Researcher applicationshttp://www.aka.fi/globalassets/10rahoitus/liiteet/tutkimussuunnitelman_rakenne_tt_200618_en.pdf · research plan guidelines for clinical researcher applicationshttp://www.aka.fi/globalassets/10rahoitus/liiteet/tutkimussuunnitelman_rakenne_kt_200618_en.pdf
