RDA TIGER Cascade Grant Call for Adoption Grants – Apply by 27 April
27 April 2025 @ 11:59 pm
This call for Cascading Grants seeks applications from researchers, research institutes, universities, enterprises, consortia and other legal entities who wish to receive financial support to adopt the results of the RDA Working Groups (WGs). Applicants must be eligible to receive Horizon Europe funding, or be affiliated to an entity that is eligible.
Specifically, the call invites applications from:
- RDA Working Groups: Groups who require support for projects that aid the adoption or testing of WG outputs. The grant funds can be used to cover the personnel and travel costs of the Group’s existing members, stipends or salaries of new team members, conference and open access fees and fees of external experts (e.g., to solve specific legal, technical, IPR, or standardisation-related issues). See the section “Eligibility Criteria” for more details. We also invite applications from RDA WGs launching a formal standardisation process to have the WG Recommendations recognised as input by an established technical standards organisation.
- Entities or researchers who wish to adopt an RDA output. Specifically, the grant funds can be used to support the adoption, testing, harmonisation, and/or implementation of RDA Recommendations or Outputs produced by RDA Working Groups.1 We also invite organisations focusing on the technical implementation, prototyping and/or proof-of-concept using RDA Recommendations or Outputs to support the interoperability of open science solutions, especially in the EOSC context.
Applications are received up until 27.04.2025 (AoE).2
The selected projects are expected to be launched in May 2025 and need to be concluded by the end of October 2025.
