Stage 1

Stage 1 projects are smaller projects, typically with a duration of 1 year, which are meant to pilot a new research area. Calls for proposals are open to everyone who fits the eligibility criteria. New applicants are only able to apply for Stage 1 project grants and can apply for a stage 2 projects, if their Stage 1 project has been successfully implemented.

Stage 2

Grantees that have successfully carried out a Stage 1 project are eligible to apply for a larger Stage 2 project (by invitation only). Stage 2 projects build on the research results and lessons learnt from the Stage 1 project and aim to ensure sustainability of project results by transforming the new knowledge and evidence generated through the Stage 1 project. The duration of Stage 2 project is typically 3 years, with a substantially larger budget than Stage 1 projects.
