Forskerprosjekt for tidlig karriere (FRIPRO)

The Research Council of Norway's FRIPRO program supports curiosity-driven and bold research that can contribute to advancing the international research frontier. This specific call is aimed at researchers at an early stage of their career, 2-7 years after their doctoral defense, who have shown potential to conduct research of high scientific quality. The program supports both applied and basic research across all research areas and disciplines. The competition is highly selective, requiring scores of 6 or 7 on all evaluation criteria to qualify for funding consideration. FRIPRO operates with rolling application intake and processing, allowing researchers to submit applications at any time as long as they do not have a waiting period or quarantine. Projects can receive funding of 4-10 million Norwegian kroner and must have a planned project duration of 36-48 months.
