Eligibility calculator
You can use this calculator to estimate your eligibility for the RCF’s Academy Research Fellowship funding. The answer is an estimate based on the information you have provided. The RCF will verify your eligibility after the call has closed and based on the information provided in the application.
Extensions of the eligibility are possible only for special reasons (pregnancy or parental leave, childcare leave while caring for a child (biological or adopted) under 3 years of age, partial childcare leave, military or nonmilitary service, or long-term illness (personal or close relative’s), if these reasons have caused a long-term career break. The reasons will be taken into account for the period from the doctoral degree completion until the call’s closing date.
If requested, the career break must be verified primarily by a certificate of absence issued by the employer. In exceptional cases, other reliable documentation may also be accepted (e.g. grant researcher’s parental leave based on a decision by the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (Kela) on parental allowance). Do not append certificates and other documents to the application.
Enter the date of your first doctoral degree certificate and the start and end dates of the period(s) of absence that extend your eligibility.
If the absence is part-time, also enter your working hours as a percentage of full-time work.
