Opportunity profile: Funding for child development research

Cristina Gallardo reports on the Jacobs Foundation’s revamped funding scheme for research into problems affecting human development during the first 20 years of life.

The Jacobs Foundation is a Swiss charity with a global outlook that focuses on research into children and young people, and is perhaps most famous for having awarded €200 million to the University of Bremen in Germany in 2006—the biggest donation ever made to a European university.

This year the foundation has relaunched its Research Fellowship programme, shifting from project-based to person-based grants. The foundation has allocated about 3 million Swiss francs (€2.8m) to the programme, and the call is open until 15 April.
