NWO AND
CORONA
NWO has announced guidelines
that it will apply in the event of
changes to ongoing NWO research
that is delayed as a result of the
corona crisis. There are four start- routes:
ing points for these guidelines:
• Extension of the starting date
• A four month delay for all
reporting deadlines for ongoing
research
• Adjustments within the
framework and budget of
ongoing research
• Any problems with the delivery
of co-funding are to be reported
to NWO immediately
The pausing and restarting of the
operational process has caused
many shifts in the timetables
of funding instruments. On its
website, NWO has created an
overview of these changes in the
form of an integral call planning in
which the upcoming deadlines for
pre-proposals and full proposals
until the end of June 2021 are
listed. More detailed information
about instruments can be found
on the relevant grant pages.
