This is how it works
The call text below refers to Supplementary documentation to the Swedish financiers (the Swedish Research Council and Vinnova) for the first step in the two-step process that the American research financier National Science Foundation (NSF) uses for its financing offer "Convergence Accelerator 2023".
Step 1 means that the Swedish-American project team submits a so-called "Letter of Intent" (LOI) to NSF by July 11 at 5 p.m. local time in accordance with NSF's instructions.
In order to be eligible for funding, the Swedish applicant also need to submit a supplementary document to the Swedish financiers via Vinnova's e-service, no later than July 11 at 14:00 local time Sweden.
The purpose of the supplementary documentation is for Vinnova and the Swedish Research Council to be able to determine whether the project proposal meets one or both of the authorities' rules for funding. The documentation includes the following appendices:
- Samma Letter of Intent (LOI) sent to NSF (according to NSF's template)
- Supplementary information in accordance with the word template found here on Vinnova's website
- Letter of support from the fund administrator (applies only applicant applying for funds from the Swedish Research Council, who do not use the term coordinator, and lack a special template)
Please note that Step 2 of the process is only open to those project that received a positive decision in the first step on July 21.
