Please note:
- NINO will prioritise applications by researchers and students who are not partipants in an existing larger research project – in other words, NINO does not aim to fund components of ongoing funded projects.
- Applicants are advised to briefly verify that relevant Dutch scholars and/or institutions will be available and inclined to cooperate during the proposed trip. Detailed/fixed arrangements should only be made if and when an Incoming Mobility Grant is awarded.
- Have you obtained or applied for any other funds or awards regarding this trip? Your application should mention all funds relevant to your trip. Specify amounts, (prospective) subsidy givers, and status (applied, in process, awarded) in your budget table.
- It is mandatory to notify NINO immediately on decisions of other subsidy givers. It is mandatory to inform other (prospective) subsidy givers immediately of NINO’s decision on your application. Failure to notify any subsidy givers may result in retraction of awarded grants, awards, or funds.
