University of Iceland Research Fund Grants The application deadline is November 1st, 2023.

The aim of the fund is to strengthen research activity at the University of Iceland by providing financial support for research projects.

All members of the teaching and research staff are entitled to apply (i.e., professors, associate professors, assistant professors, research scientists, research scholars and research specialists).
Evaluation of the applications will be based on the scientific value of the proposed research, present state of knowledge, objectives, methodology and time plan for the research project and the recent publication record of the applicant.

Financial restrictions allow only one project to be awarded to each applicant.

A new grant application must be accompanied by a final report for any previous grant from the University of Iceland Research Fund.
Please note a change in the grant arrangement and that it is possible to apply for a grant for up to three years, see “Criteria for the allocation of grants” for details.

Successful applicants are asked to submit a final report at the end of the grant period, but annual progress reports are no longer required.

At the same time, recipients of multi-year grants are expected to refrain from submitting new applications until towards the end of the grant period.
It is not necessary to include a list of publications as the applicants’ publication record is assessed based on annual reports (from 2018-2022).

Special emphasis is placed on publications meeting strict academic standards such as those listed in the ISI and ERIH databases.

Please follow all instructions.

Incomplete applications will not be processed.

Applications are submitted electronically.

The application form is available here.


The rules of the fund and other useful information can be found at the UI Research Fund webpage.
