SUMMARY:Science Foundation Ireland: Principal Investigator Programme Grant
DESCRIPTION:Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) advances national scientific progress by 
 awarding grants for research on a competitive basis in those fields of 
 science\, engineering\, software engineering\, computer science\, and 
 mathematics that underpin biotechnology and information and communications 
 technology.  SFI Principal Investigator Programme grants support fields of 
 science and engineering that underpin biotechnology and information and 
 communications technology.  The grants are tenable in Ireland’s public 
 research bodies\, including universities and institutes of technology.  PI 
 grants may range from €50\,000 to €1 million (direct costs) per year 
 and may be up to five years in duration. Typical grants\, however\, will be 
 in the range of €50\,000 to €250\,000 (direct costs) per year and will 
 normally be up to four years in duration. Researchers with exceptional 
 track records may apply for awards of up to €1 million (direct costs) per 
 year for up to five years.  SFI funding supports the research programme 
 costs of the principal investigator and their research group. Eligible 
 costs include the following:   Relevant research expenses\, including 
 personnel\, equipment\, consumables\, collaboration\, and travel  
 Contributions to salaries for staff hired specifically to carry out the 
 research programme  Access to necessary special facilities\, such as 
 synchrotron beam lines or high-speed computing   In addition to the direct 
 costs\, SFI also makes an overhead contribution to the host research bodies 
 as part of the Overhead Investment Plan (OIP) programme. OIP awards are a 
 contribution to the research body for the indirect costs of hosting SFI 
 funded research programmes and are intended to enable the research bodies 
 to develop internationally competitive research infrastructure and support 
 services.  All applicants will be expected to have a proven record of 
 internationally recognised independent research accomplishments and to have 
 at least three years of independent research experience beyond the PhD or 
 equivalent.  An applicant may be   a member of the academic staff 
 (permanent or with a contract that covers the period of the grant)\, or  a 
 contract researcher recognised by the research body as an independent 
 investigator who will have an independent office and research space at the 
 host research body for which he or she will be fully responsible for at 
 least the duration of the SFI grant\, or  an individual who will be 
 recognised by the research body upon receipt of the SFI grant as a contract 
 researcher as defined above.   Applicants may submit a single proposal or 
 one in collaboration with other academics or researchers.
