Project grants received the biggest allocation, CHF 435m. The SNSF received proposals for 4 per cent fewer projects in 2016 than in the previous year, it said, but the amount of funding requested increased by 3.2 per cent to almost CHF 1.1 billion. The success rate for project applications was 40 per cent.
