OVERVIEW<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

The overall goal of <\/span>Seed Grant program starting from <\/span>AY25-26<\/span> is to provide initial funding for the formulation of external funding proposals and generate preliminary results to improve success rates. The Grant is meant to help VinUni faculty to kickstart your research and proposal development process, but it will not fund ongoing or indefinitely open-ended research endeavors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FUNDING AMOUNT\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

A single PI can apply for a maximum of $20,000\u00a0(VND 520,000,000) per project.<\/span><\/p>\n

The amount of funding is <\/span>determined<\/span> based on the scope and impact of the project\u2019s expected deliverables, with expected outcomes as professional growth for early-career researchers and essential preliminary data to apply for external funding from outside organisation and transforming ideas into tangible outcomes.\u202f\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
