Project Submissions
Second Call for The LOOP Zurich Incubator Projects
The LOOP Zurich project grants for Incubator Projects will enable groups of researchers of at least two different academic institutions from Zurich and should fit into the Precision Medicine strategy of The LOOP Zurich, e.g., by considering genotypic and phenotypic aspects related to specific pathologic conditions.
In contrast to The LOOP Translational Projects, inclusion of a clinical research component, i.e. Proof-of-Concept in patients, or a biomedical informatics component is not mandatory for Incubator Projects.
The LOOP Incubator projects will be supported by a maximum of 1 Mio CHF to be spent over a duration of 3 years.
Call timeline:
- Deadline for project outlines: December 1, 2025
- Deadline for full proposals: May 3, 2026
- Earliest project start: September 1, 2026

We look forward to your project ideas.

The LOOP Zurich invites research groups from the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich, the University Hospital Zurich, the University Children’s Hospital Zurich, Balgrist University Hospital, and the Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich to submit project outlines for translational research in the field of precision medicine.
We are seeking interdisciplinary consortia of five to eight researchers who aim to jointly address a significant medical challenge. Funded projects should bring together complementary expertise in biomedical research, bioinformatics, and clinical science – with the goal of advancing innovations into patient care. Each selected project may receive up to CHF 5 million over a five-year period.
Call timeline:
- Deadline for project outlines: September 1, 2025
