– a grant to support young researchers who wish to promote their independent research career and to establish an independent research group (start-up research grant);

– a grant to support post-doctoral research.

The call for funding personal and post-doctoral research in 2017 will open on 1 April 2016 and close at 17:00 hours Estonian time on 30 April 2016.
