NWO decides against restrictions for recipients of new schemes

Researchers receiving new high-value awards from Dutch government will not be blocked from other applications

The NWO research council has decided against blocking recipients of the Dutch government’s new high-value Starter and Incentive Grants from applying to other funding schemes.

Last year, the Dutch funder said it was considering placing restrictions on winners of the new Starter Grants, worth up to €300,000, and Incentive Grants, worth varying amounts, from also applying for other forms of funding.
