NWO Vidi Grant

The Innovational Research Incentives Scheme Vidi is a grant for experienced researchers. From 2018 on NWO asks Vidi candidates for an 'embedding guarantee' signed by the dean of the institution where they intend to conduct their research. Researchers can only submit applications for Vidi funding with the support of the Dutch institution where they intend to conduct their research. It is expected to lead to fewer applications and to be more consistent with the research institutions’ personnel policy.
