When we consider funding applications, we decide if they’re eligible for funding under the SFI-HRB-Wellcome Research Partnership.

We consider applications from the Republic of Ireland in competition with applications from other countries.

We will tell you if you’re eligible and contact SFI and the HRB. We may share your application information with them.

If you’ve previously held an award from SFI or the HRB, we may consider progress and outputs when we assess your application.
