Launch of the consultation on the new rules for participation in RIF’s Funding Programmes

The Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF) announces the launch of a consultation process on the new Rules for Participation in its funding Programmes.
The new rules will be applied on the RIF’s new Grants Management System, which is expected to go live in 2027.
The main changes include, among others, the use of lump sum payments, standard scales of unit cost for personnel, the participation of Affiliated Entities in funded projects, as well as the introduction of the role of Project Manager for projects with funding exceeding €150,000.
The RIF invites interested entities to submit their comments and suggestions, exclusively through the dedicated online questionnaire (https://forms.office.com/e/XmCGmHKsG1) by 18 March 2026, at 13:00. Comments can be submitted in either Greek or English.
For further information, interested parties can contact the RIF Partner Support Centre at support@research.org.cy.
