PRIN call for proposals 2022

The PRIN program finances public research projects in order to promote the national research system, strengthen interactions between universities and research institutions in line with the objectives outlined in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and encourage Italian participation in initiatives related to the European Union's Framework Program for Research and Innovation.

These are projects whose complexity and nature may require the collaboration of multiple professors/researchers and whose funding needs exceed the normal availability of individual institutions.

Depending on the nature of the project, the research team must consist of at least two research units from different universities, organizations or institutions.

Projects can address topics related to any research field within the three macro fields determined by the ERC:

  • Life sciences (LS)
  • Physical, chemical and engineering sciences (PE)
  • Social sciences and humanities (SH)

Each project, lasting two years, must provide a maximum funding of 250,000 euros and a number of research units of at least two, in accordance with the aims of the call, which is aimed at strengthening interactions between universities and research institutions, achieving the objectives of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and encouraging Italian participation in initiatives related to the European Union Framework Program for Research and Innovation.

Research units within the same project must necessarily belong to different universities/institutions/institutions.

All project costs are covered by MUR funding, except those related to permanent employees, which remain the responsibility of the university/body/institution hosting the research unit.

Applications must be submitted by PIs no later than 3:00 p.m. on March 31, 2022, failing which the project will be ineligible and excluded from the call, only through web-based procedures.

Applications are written in English; an additional version in Italian may also be provided at the proposer's option.

NEW. The fillable forms are made available as of 15:00 on February 7, 2022.

N.B.

Any person who is funded in any capacity under the PRIN 2020 call is eligible to participate in this call.

Each professor/researcher may appear, whatever his/her role (PI, unit head, participant), in only one proposal of this call.
