What is it and what is it for?

The objective of these grants is to identify and support excellent researchers with proven experience in centers of international prestige in order to favor their recruitment in research centers and public universities of the Valencian Community, where they will develop a research project at the frontier of knowledge. A maximum of 20 grants will be awarded, distributed proportionally among the areas of knowledge established by the State Research Agency, as a function of the number of applications submitted that meet the requirements. The grants will be awarded for a period of four years (48 months), extendable for another two years. The extension must be requested and justified by the host institution six months before the end of the grant and must be authorized by the Director General of Science and Research. The approval of any extension will be conditioned to the existence of adequate and sufficient credit in the budgets of the Generalitat Valenciana for the corresponding fiscal year.
