Gender equality grant

The Gender Equality Grant is a supplementary funding scheme by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) that provides financial support to female researchers in early career phases (doctoral or postdoctoral level) who are employed in SNSF-funded projects or career funding schemes. The grant can be used for career support measures such as mentoring, coaching, courses, workshops, and networking events, but does not cover family support measures. No application is necessary; eligible individuals automatically receive CHF 1000 per 12 months of approved project running time, with a work-time percentage of at least 60% funded by the SNSF (except for doctoral students).
