Technology Development Project Awards
Initiated in 2024, the Instruct-ERIC Technology Development (TechDev) Call offers funding for pilot projects in technology development on specific topics.
Similar to the R&D Pilot Funding Scheme, the TechDev call provides funding for pilot projects. However, the aim of the TechDev call is to develop new technologies and methodologies which will become available at Instruct centres, and can then be accessed by integrated structural biology researchers worldwide.
2025 Call Topic
"AI tools for Integrated Structural Biology"
Application Process and Guidelines
Applicants must be resident in one of the Instruct member countries or working within an Instruct member intergovernmental organisation.
At the conclusion of a pilot study and within one year of the project start, the researcher must submit a progress report to the Instruct Executive Committee.
The study should be of limited scope and have well defined objectives. Ordinarily, a pilot study should be completed within one year.
The TechDev Call is aimed at researchers with a proven track record in technology and methods development.
The TechDev Call for 2025 will open on January 29th.
