Tips for Applicants
- ✓Consortium strength is critical: your Indian partner's track record and explicit institutional commitment matter as much as your research question.
- ✓One Health framing is essential, show how your project integrates at least two of the three domains (human, animal, environment) rather than siloing them.
- ✓Budget your proposal carefully: CHF 400,000 is the Swiss ceiling, and budget splits between countries are negotiated bilaterally with your Indian partner before submission.
