DUTCH Calls

• Publication of the DUTCH Call via the DUTCH website on Thursday, June 19. • Online information webinar on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 3:00 PM by DUTCH for applicants with the opportunity to ask questions. A recording will be available afterward. • For the DUTCH Open Call, you can submit an orientation form until 12:00 noon on Monday, July 14, 2025, to receive substantive feedback on the project design from the DUTCH program team. The lead applicant will receive this feedback within 10 days. You are strongly advised to take advantage of this opportunity. If, after receiving all orientation forms, DUTCH reveals that overlapping projects are being developed, DUTCH will inform the relevant partners by July 23rd at the latest so they can consider collaboration. It is not possible to submit an orientation form for the DUTCH R&D Call. After the July 14 deadline has passed, you will find the summary of feedback on the orientation forms below: • Submit your application, including a project plan, budget, statement of financial difficulties, and, for SMEs, an SME declaration, by the deadline of 4 p.m. on September 8th. • Assessment of the application against requirements by the DUTCH Financial Expertise Point. • Substantive assessment of the application by the independent DUTCH advisory committee. • If the substantive assessment is positive by the DUTCH independent advisory committee, the DUTCH Financial Expertise Center will conduct a financial technical review. Applicants may be contacted with questions about their application. • If the substantive and financial assessment is positive, the applicant will receive a provisional grant, and the application will be submitted to the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport for a final award of the financial contribution. The assessment and final award by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport is expected to take 13 weeks. • Upon approval by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, final allocation of the contribution to applicants by DUTCH. • Projects may begin once DUTCH has submitted the applications to the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport for final approval of the financial contribution. This is expected to be mid-October 2025.

There are no restrictions for this from DUTCH, but state aid rules must be followed at all times and no subsidy may be applied for twice for the same activity.

All documents submitted to DUTCH will be treated confidentially. However, DUTCH will communicate this as soon as the project receives funding.
