Applied Research Grant

Osteology Foundation

The Osteology Foundation funds interdisciplinary clinical research in precision oral tissue regeneration, focusing on bio-functionalised biomaterials and regenerative wound healing prognostication to advance preventive, diagnostic and patient-centred solutions.

Amount of funding

Grants will be yearly awarded to selected researchers after thorough peer-review. Up to 125'000 Swiss francs can be allocated for each selected project. Applications requiring less than the maximum amount are accepted and encouraged, provided that financial feasibility is ensured.
The submitted applications can be part of a larger project (e.g. larger clinical trial), in this case the roles/responsibilities/project ownership must be clarified.

Awarding criteria

In 2026, the research projects proposed in the scope of the Applied Research Grant programme must be clinical in nature and must demonstrate clinical relevance for evidence-based dental/medical practice for the benefit of human health and clinical care. The awarding criteria reflect this principle, and will focus on:

Clinical relevance
Methodology
Originality of hypothesis
Facilities and qualifications

Additionally, a letter of institutional support is required for any early-career applicant.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

Eligibility Requirements

This programme provides funding for both early-career and established researchers, and teams who present with a track record in generating and translating basic research findings towards clinical application. Interdisciplinary (collaborative) research involving basic scientists and clinicians, as well as research groups from different universities/entities, is strongly encouraged.

An early-career researcher is defined as a dependent researcher who has a maximum of five years’ academic research experience following the completion of their PhD degree, or completion of clinical training (residency programme) and provide demonstration of enrolment in a research programme (i.e. PhD).

Every other researcher is considered an established researcher, having both:

At least five years’ academic research experience following the completion of their clinical training/PhD (or equivalent) degree
Track record of funding (principal investigator of at least one completed and fully funded grant/project) and publications (at least 5 first- or last-author publications + 5 other publications)
