Annual Research Fund
A fixed sum is granted to all permanent academic employees (including fixed-term researchers), as well as postdoctoral fellows and research fellows at the Department of Psychology. For temporary employees on external projects, only expenses that cannot be charged to the project's operating costs will be covered.
The fixed sum/annum cannot be transferred from one year to another, the only exception is for postdocs/doctoral research fellows (who are allowed to use the fixed sum more freely during their employment period). The sums allocated are decided annually in connection with the budget work.
Allocated funds (section, mobility and strategic) cannot be transferred from one year to another.
Rates 2025:
- 20 000 NOK for permanent academic employees and fixed-term researchers
- 20 000 NOK for postdocs and doctoral research fellows
- Emeriti can apply for up to 5 000 in research related activities. You can not apply for funding for the purchase of computer equipment for the funds
- Staff in adjunct positions (professor II's) may apply for funding from their respective section
How to use your annual research money
Your annual funds should be charged to your personal sub-project number. It is important to maintain your own records by keeping track of all your expenses. If you cannot find your sub-project number from this overview or certain transactions in your records, please contact okonomi-hjelp@sv.uio.no for assistance. You can also find more information on the sub-project numbers from the Faculty.
The funds can be used to cover expenses for research related activities such as hiring of research assistants, purchase of literature, shorter travels, meetings, proofreading services, conferences and other activities in connection with the research.
Please note the following when placing lunch orders or dinner reservations: due to the Auditor General's remarks, UiO has now implemented a new measure that requires the submission of attendance lists for all events/meetings where food is ordered and for restaurant visits (i.e. invitations with name/email where recipients/recipient lists appear). Ideally, the program of the event should also be attached. Remember to state whether the event is for internal participants (UiO staff) or external participants (or both).
