Information for grant recipients

We look forward to assisting you with your funded project. In cooperation with the universities, we offer comprehensive support and advice, whether in the drafting of agreements, questions of project and financial management, the organisation of events or public relations work.

The funding decision was sent to you by the Programme Office and forms the legal basis of our funding.

Agreement

The submission of an agreement on the case-related regulation of the utilisation of the results is a prerequisite for the release of the funding awarded as part of the project opening. The deadlines for submitting the case-related agreement depend on the call type.

Liability

DIZH shall in no case be liable for accidents or illnesses and their consequences or for damages of any kind arising in connection with the implementation of projects funded by its contributions.

If the project is subject to the Human Research Act, the project must be registered for DIZH liability insurance by the main applicant with the Programme Office within the deadline set by DIZH using the questionnaire provided (DIZH Clinical Trials and Research Projects Questionnaire). Please note that prior ethics approval by the responsible committee is a prerequisite for registration. The main applicant will receive the insurance certificate from the Program Office by e-mail.

Reporting

You are obliged to prepare a final report on the content and financial aspects of the project. The template for the final report will be sent to you by email by the Program Office.

The content of funded structures is monitored by the Innovation Panel, with a status assessment approximately one year after the start of the project and an interim evaluation after approximately two years in order to decide on further funding.

Communication

It is important to us to communicate the funded projects to the public. In cooperation with the communication departments of the universities, we offer various communication measures and would like to support the projects individually.
