The SciLifeLab committee Uppsala University has decided to identify and support local infrastructures or new technologies (Technology Development Projects) with the potential to be incorporated into national SciLifeLab platforms. The main goal is thus that TDP’s financed by SciLifeLab Uppsala will be able to apply to become national units incorporated into national platforms.

The suggested infrastructures/techniques can be already existing or something that the applicants would like to establish and/or develop during the next 2 years (2022 and 2023).

Applicants can apply for up to 1 MSEK/year for a maximum 2 years with a potential for further funding locally or nationally within SciLifeLab.

The main applicant has to be employed by Uppsala University and at least one of the applicants has to be an officially approved SciLifeLab group leader.

Evaluation criteria: All applications will be evaluated by the local SciLifeLab working group and the coordinators for national SciLifeLab infrastructure. Decision of funding will be made by the SciLifeLab committee UU on March 14, 2022.

Start of funding: April 1, 2022
