69 researchers from all over Poland will each complete a single research task, such as a preliminary/pilot study, library or archive search, research fellowship or research/consultation trip, thanks to 2.5 million PLN in research funding from the NCN. Check out the second ranking list of the MINIATURA 7 call, this time for proposals submitted in March.
Under the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences panel, grants were awarded to 27 researchers. Dr Agnieszka Kamyk-Wawryszuk from the University of Bydgoszcz will travel for a consultation to Trinity College Dublin to analyse how parents of children on mechanical ventilation or with a rare disability cope when their child’s health begins to deteriorate.
Experts in the MINIATURA 7 call also selected 20 winners in Physical Sciences and Engineering. Dr Roksana Kruć-Fijałkowska from the Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań will use her grant to analyse the content of harmful microplastics in drinking water from artificial infiltration intakes.
The 22 winners in the Life Sciences panel include Dr Mateusz Kurek from the Jagiellonian University, who will travel for a research fellowship in Copenhagen, where he will focus on the mathematical analysis of in-line spectroscopic data from the hot-melt extrusion process.
All the topics can be found in the ranking list.
Funding per panel:
- Art, Humanities and Social Sciences – PLN 791,086
- Physical Sciences and Engineering – PLN 790,984
- Life Sciences – PLN 980,990
The total budget of projects that made the cut for the second MINIATURA 7 ranking list amounts to over 2,563,000 PLN.
The main objective of the call is to finance research activities carried out in preparation for future research projects that will be submitted to NCN calls for proposals, as well as other domestic and international calls. Researchers can apply for funding from PLN 5,000 to PLN 50,000 PLN for a research activity planned over a period of up to 12 months. The call is open to PhD holders who earned their degree no earlier than 1 January 2011 (except in cases specified in the terms and conditions of the call). They need to be employed by the host institution and demonstrate a research record of at least one published paper or at least one achievement in art or art research.
Funds for research activities carried out under the MINIATURA 7 call are divided proportionally to the number of months during which proposals are accepted. Since a large number of researchers wait to submit their proposals during the last month before the deadline, we would encourage you not to put off your decision to apply until the very last moment.
In this edition, proposals may be submitted until 4 pm, 31 July 2023.
Remember that funding decisions are sent to the ESP ePUAP address indicated in the proposal. If you have not received a decision, please make sure that the address listed in the proposal is correct. If not, contact the person in charge of handling the proposal, as indicated in the OSF system.
