HEAS Seed Grants

Our HEAS Seed Grant initiative offers up to €5,000 to support interdisciplinary pilot projects that promote the HEAS network. We want to keep it simple and unbureaucratic. All HEAS PhDs, Postdocs, and PIs are eligible to apply. There are three calls for applications each year, and at least three grants are awarded each call. The 2026 submission deadlines are: 28th February, 30th June, 31st October   Application Guidelines - Proposals must bring together researchers and or facilities from at least two of the seven HEAS research units - You may lead only one HEAS Seed Grant at a time but may participate in up to two concurrent grants (i.e. as lead on one and collaborator on another). Applications should contain: Project title 50-75 word abstract 1-2 page proposal including: — Project aims (e.g., proof of concept, preparation for larger grant applications, etc.) — HEAS researchers and research units involved — How the project advances HEAS’s interdisciplinary mission — Future implications — Plans for applying to larger-scale funding programs — Basic budget (e.g. 110 samples sequencing @ € 15.00 = €1650.00, or 67.5h lab technician @ € 20.00 = €1350.00,” no quotes required) 1 page bibliography 1-3 page CV Complete applications of no more than 6 pages should be submitted as a single PDF document on the internal registrations link. Evaluation, Approval,…
