An Academy Research Fellow is a talented early-career researcher. An Academy Research Fellowship supports early-career researchers on fast career tracks. The funding supports the researchers so that they can increase their competencies and make significant career progress towards more demanding research positions and achieve an established position in the national and international research community. Academy Research Fellows produce high-quality, high-impact research that stimulates scientific renewal.
An Academy Research Fellowship provides researchers with a good and diverse opportunity to work independently on their research and to contribute to developing the research in their field. As an Academy Research Fellow, you are encouraged to engage in international research collaboration and mobility across international and sectoral borders, for example, so that you will work abroad for part of the funding period. Foreign researchers who already work or who will work in the Finnish scientific community may also apply for the funding.
The objective of the funding scheme is to promote high-quality, high-impact science with capacity for renewal as well as to support researchers in increasing their competencies and making career progress.
Researchers need a wide range of experience from working in different research and work environments to be able to increase their competencies. By working in different kinds of research groups or in other research-related positions, researchers can further strengthen their personal networks and improve their chances of securing competitive research positions or other senior expert tasks.
For today’s researchers, it is also important to be able to acquire new methodological skills and adopt new means of communicating with people with different backgrounds.
In the present call, the applicant is an individual researcher whose first doctoral degree certificate is dated between 30 September 2016 and 31 January 2022. As of the winter call 2024, Academy Research Fellowships may be applied for by researchers with 2–7 years since the first doctorate.
Applicants who have completed their doctoral degree longer ago than the period mentioned above can be considered only for special reasons (pregnancy, family or childcare leave, military service or nonmilitary service, or long-term illness). The special reasons will be taken into account for the period following the doctoral degree.
If you plead these special reasons, justify them in the application under ‘Personal data’. Edit your details and degrees and the section ‘Additional information’. If these reasons are confidential, get in touch with the call’s contact person named in the call text (see ‘Contacts’).
Merits and competencies as a researcher
Past and planned mobility, research collaborations, the international dimension of the research plan and other competencies and qualifications achieved by the applicant are important considerations in the review.
The application must describe the applicant’s merits to date and how the applicant will increase their competencies both during and after the funding period. These can be demonstrated, for example, by the establishment of a research team and other academic leadership experience, planned or implemented co-publication, sharing of data, supervision and teaching experience, various expert tasks, application for co-financing, and national and international cooperation and mobility. The application shall also clarify how the research idea differs from the applicant’s doctoral dissertation.
The increasing competencies and career plan are described under ‘Merits and increasing competencies’ in the online services. See the guidelines and structure: Merits and increased competencies.
Special terms and restrictions
In the winter call, we will consider (process) only one application per researcher if the application concerns Academy Project Funding (incl. a consortium subproject), an Academy Research Fellowship or Clinical Researcher Funding. If you do submit more than one application for any of these funding opportunities or apply for funding from more than one of them, we will only consider (process) the first application to arrive.
If you are appointed to a senior research position for an indefinite term while your application is being processed, please notify us without delay. The Academy Research Fellowship is intended for a researcher who does not yet hold a permanent and senior research position. Such positions are, for instance, professor, assistant/associate professor, research director and comparable posts. If you have a fixed-term position in a university’s tenure-track system, for example, you can apply for an Academy Research Fellowship.
We will not consider Academy Research Fellowship applications from researchers who have Postdoctoral Researcher funding from us.
The following exception is possible:
- The researcher may apply for an Academy Research Fellowship in the last year of the Postdoctoral Researcher term, but the funding periods cannot overlap.
If the applicant has or has had a five-year Academy Research Fellowship, we will not consider (process) a new Fellowship application from that person.
Applications by members of the Research Council of Finland’s Board and scientific councils and members of the Strategic Research Council will not be processed during their terms.
You must immediately notify us if you receive funding from other sources for the same purpose after you have submitted your application to us.
We will not consider (process) an application by a person who has participated in the planning of the call to an extent likely to give them a comparative advantage over other applicants
We will not process an application if the applicant has been found guilty of research misconduct in the three years preceding the year of the call.
If the application includes cooperation with Russia or Belarus, you must take into account our policies on the matter.
If you have not submitted a final report on a completed or ongoing Research Council-funded project by the set deadline, we may decide not to consider (process) your application.
An application will not be considered (processed) if the applicant or the application does not meet the competence requirements or other key requirements, or if there are otherwise no conditions for processing the case.
A scientific council or another decision-making body may decide not to fund an application based on science policy objectives, or if it is apparent for some other reason that the applicant cannot receive funding with the submitted application. Read more about the circumstances that may cause us not to process or review an application.
The Board of the Research Council of Finland decides the criteria for the Research Council’s funding decisions. Our scientific councils also have specific science policy objectives (to be updated in autumn 2023). Read the scientific councils' policies before submitting your application.
Academy Research Fellowship funding is granted for four years. The funding period is 1 September 2024–31 August 2028.
The funding to be distributed through this call depends on the Finnish Parliament’s decision to allocate the necessary funds to the Research Council of Finland in the 2024 state budget.
The funding is granted to a Finnish site of research (usually a university or research institute) through which the funding is paid.
The PI of the funded project must have a close connection with Finland during the whole funding period. The researchers hired with the funding shall primarily work in Finland. However, during the funding period, they can work for periods of varying lengths at a foreign university, for instance.
The Academy Research Fellow will lead and supervise research according to the research plan also while work is being performed abroad.
Funding plan
In the application, provide a cost estimate including an estimate of the annual amount of funding needed, itemised by type of expenditure. Also include a funding plan that shows all funding granted for the project as well as funding that will be provided by the site of research if the project is launched.
Before submitting the application, you must agree with the administration at your organisation on the contribution of the site of research to the funding of the project. Only costs that pass through the books of the site of the research must be included in the total costs.
You must check with your organisation whether the funding planned as the own funding contribution suits this purpose. The funding applied for from the Research Council of Finland must not exceed 70% of the total project costs. The cost estimate must be realistic.
When drafting the cost estimate, you must consider the scientific councils' policies that concern the funding (the policies will be updated in autumn).
The most significant research costs to be funded are justified by type of expenditure in the free-text field on the tab ‘Funding for the project’.
You can apply for funding to cover, for example, the following direct research costs:
- your own salary (up to 46 months)
- research team salaries
- essential implementation costs
- travel expenses
- collaboration and mobility in Finland
- international collaboration and mobility
- preparation of international projects.
Our funding cannot be used for economic activity. Read more about the eligibility of economic operators.
Only for compelling reasons can government grants be awarded to cover salary costs in cases where the applicant has obstacles related to illegal employment, as referred to in section 7(2) of the Finnish Act on Discretionary Government Transfers.
Salary and other research costs
Funds can be made available towards the Academy Research Fellow’s own salary, hiring a research team and other research costs. Funding can be applied for and used flexibly based on the needs of the research. The total cost estimate may, for example, only include the applicant’s own salary or the salary of up to two full-time researchers (incl. the applicant’s own salary) and other research costs.
The total cost estimate need not include the applicant’s own salary if the salary is arranged in some other way and the applicant is able to commit to the research work described in the research plan.
During the four-year funding period, the duties of the Academy Research Fellow include an average of four months in roles and tasks other than actual research yet relevant to the professional research career. These may include teaching and supervision, administrative duties, interaction or advocacy, or other tasks related to the organisation’s core functions. This salary for a total period of four months’ of work will be co-funded so that a maximum of two months of it can be included in the proportion applied for from the Research Council of Finland. The total cost estimate for the four-year funding period may therefore include payment of the applicant’s salary for a maximum of 46 months.
Research team salaries
As a rule, staff hired with Research Council research funding must have an employment relationship. We recommend that they be hired for a period of employment no shorter than the funding period, unless a shorter contract is necessary for special reasons dictated by the implementation of the research project. Short-term research, studies or other assignments (max. duration six months) may also be carried out in the form of outsourced services.
Mobility aid in research projects
The mobility aid is applied for as research costs related to the implementation of the research plan. The aid is applied for in accordance with the practices of the site of research. In order to obtain further information, you should contact the personnel and financial administration of the site of research.
In the online services, the aid is applied for on the tab ‘Funding for the project’ under ‘Travel expenses’. The mobility aid must be justified. Read more about the mobility aid in the funding terms and conditions.
What is required from the site of research?
With regard to the Academy Research Fellowship, the site of research undertakes to see to that the Academy Research Fellow will be able to fully commit to the research. The site also commits to employing the Academy Research Fellow full-time during the entire funding period, also during the two-month period during which they will have to perform other tasks that are important for a professional research career. The salary is determined based on the pay system of the site of research. Guidelines for sites of research
We require that the site of research (e.g. a university, research institute or research organisation; see guidelines for sites of research) provides the research project with all necessary basic facilities. These are determined based on the nature of the research and are the same as those available to other research staff at the site: office and laboratory premises, equipment (incl. computer equipment), and telecommunications, telephone, mailing, copying and library services.
When accepting the funding, the site of research is responsible for ensuring that necessary statements and permits from ethics committees have been obtained before the start of the project.
The costs of ensuring immediate open access to peer-reviewed articles are included in the overheads of the site of research and are thus part of the basic facilities provided by the site. The costs associated with storing and sharing research data are regarded as overheads for the project’s site of research. Only exceptionally and for justified reasons can they be accepted as research costs to be covered by Research Council research funding.
The site of research also commits to ensuring that the data management plan can be implemented at the site of research, and that the measures to be taken comply with good data management practice. After a positive funding decision, the site of research will also approve the data management plan of the project.
Read more on the commitment by the site of research.
The application must also include the overheads percentage, indirect employee costs and coefficient for effective working hours of the site of research. The site of research will see to that this information is kept up to date in the online services. The information is provided as percentages.
When the site of research is a university or a research institute, as a rule, the funding must be applied for VAT included. Consult the financial administration at the site of research for more information. Our funding may also cover VAT costs, but only on certain conditions (see VAT and read more in our funding terms and conditions).
Research at EUI or IIASA by Academy Research Fellows
Those applying for an Academy Research Fellowship can also apply to do research at the European University Institute (EUI) as part of the Academy Research Fellowship. The EUI can receive one Academy Research Fellow at a time to carry out research at the EUI for 1–2 years. You need not append a separate invitation from the EUI to your application or contact the EUI. However, please read about EUI research before applying and contact our EUI contact person (see ‘Contacts’) when drafting your application.
During the funding period, Academy Research Fellows can also visit the multidisciplinary International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), which focuses on global issues that require broad-based, multidisciplinary research cooperation that makes use of applied systems analysis. If your research is linked to one of IIASA’s research programmes or projects, you can agree on the visit with IIASA directly. You should also contact our IIASA contact person for more details (see ‘Contacts’).

Research Council of Finland funding is granted based on peer review. We mainly use foreign experts as reviewers, and they make up the review panels.
The applications are reviewed by pre-defined international review panels, and applicants select the panel for their applications. The review of applications follows a two-stage process. In the first stage, experts are asked to give at least two individual reviews on the application. Applications with an overall rating of 5 or 6 from at least one expert will proceed to the panel review stage. Applications that receive an overall rating of 5 or 6 from the review panel will be ranked.
The fundamental principles of the review are transparency, integrity, equity, competence and diversity. Read more about responsible researcher evaluation.
Review panels and panel selection
The applications are reviewed by pre-selected panels. Read more about the panel selection. Select the panel under ‘Scientific council and panel’ in the online services. The selection is binding. You cannot change the panel after the call deadline.
Panel selection instructions:
- Examine several panel descriptions in your field and carefully read both the scope and keywords before choosing the panel.
- Choose one panel and one scientific council for your application. None of the panels are linked to a particular scientific council as such.
- Submit your application to the most relevant panel. We may reallocate applications, but only if there has been an obvious typographical or other clear error in the selection. The applicant will be informed in such cases.
Please note:
- Any topic is welcome, regardless of whether it is explicitly stated in panel descriptions. Panels are typically multidisciplinary.
- The keywords are not an exhaustive list of the topics that will be covered in the panels. They are intended to help applicants choose the most appropriate panel.
- The panel structure does not represent any scientific classification as such. The numbering, names or descriptors of panels do not reflect any priorities.
- The panel structure is revised regularly (for scientific and/or operational reasons).
- NB! Panel RC24_42 will review applications for Clinical Researcher funding and will not be available for other applicants.
Review criteria
- scientific quality, innovativeness and novelty value of the research as well as its impact within the scientific community
- feasibility of research plan (incl. responsible science)
- competence of applicant/research team in terms of project implementation, possible researcher training
- quality of research environment and collaboration networks (incl. researcher mobility)
- suitability of the proposed research in terms of the possible special objectives of the funding scheme (incl. societal impact)
In the review of applications for Academy Research Fellowships, special attention will be paid to the applicant’s increasing competencies and ability to stimulate scientific renewal.
The academic competence and qualifications of the applicant will be evaluated with special reference to their postdoctoral research and scientific collaborations in relation to their career stage. In the application, the applicant can demonstrate their competence by describing, for example, their experience of different research environments, their ability to build up collaborative networks, previous national or international mobility, existing or planned joint projects or more independent publishing than in previous career stages. The review will also focus on the applicant’s increasing competence and expected qualification for the most demanding research tasks.
Read more in the guidelines on merits and increasing competencies.
See the rating scale and the review questions that will be used in the review: review form and review guidelines for Academy Research Fellowship applications. The review guidelines and forms are only available in English.
The funding decisions are based on the review reports and panel rankings. The scientific councils may use the recruitment of doctoral candidates as a science policy criterion. Additionally, the decisions will be prepared considering the Research Council of Finland’s criteria for research funding decisions and other guiding policies. Read about how funding decisions are made.
The scientific councils will update their science policies in the autumn. The funding decisions are based on the policies of each scientific council. The policies will be updated on our website before the call opens. Read the scientific council policies before submitting your application.
The scientific councils will make the funding decisions in May–June 2024.
You will receive an email notification after the funding decision has been made. After receiving the email, you can log in to the online services with your user ID to view the decision and its justifications. In the online services, you will also have access to the review report(s), which may include the panel ranking (panels rank the best applications).
How to receive the funding
A positive funding decision is accompanied by the funding terms and conditions. If the funding is subject to conditions that differ from or specify the Research Council’s funding terms and conditions, these are indicated in the specific conditions of the decision notification.
Make sure to check the decision, read the funding terms and conditions and accept the funding in the online services without delay. This must be done within eight weeks of the decision date, unless otherwise stated in the special conditions of the decision notice.
If necessary, update the popular project description before you accept the funding. If a project is granted funding, we will publish a description of the project on our website. It is important that the public description is written for a general audience.
Make changes to the annual instalments, if necessary (see the instructions in our funding terms and conditions), and append the full data management plan (in consortium applications only consortium PIs do this).
Once you have accepted the funding, the system will send a notification to the commitment issuer at the site of research. That person must also accept the granted funding. See the how-to guide: Decision notification, review reports and accepting funding.
The funds can be paid only after the applicant and the representative of the site of research have accepted them. The system will then notify the funding to the finance administration of the site of research, whereupon the funds will be ready to use.
