Support to Basic Science
 Consolíder Program.
 Research Projects.
Consolíder Program: Purpose
Consolíder aims to:
 Achieve research excellence.
 increase researchers cooperation and
 create large research teams.
The aim is to benefit iniciatives and groups of greater critical mass
and research excellence; promoting large research lines instead of
atomized projects and providing these groups with a stable support
in time that allows them to face large size and scope projects.
Consolíder Program: Addressees
There are already first international level research teams in some areas of
Spanish Science, and enough ones that are able to step forward:
 From the individual researcher to the collaboration between different
research teams.
 From individual projects to large research lines.
 From excessive limitation in time and in objectives (many times imposed
by R+D+I public support tools) to the ambition in scope definition and in size
and duration of the projects.
Consolíder Program: Results for 2007 notification
 79 applications have been presented in 2007 from the best research teams
in our country.
 After an evaluation proccess in two phases, by a Scientific Committee
composed by first quality spanish researchers living abroad, a proposal for
resolution has been done.
 28 projects have been selected, of very high scientific quality and that involve
303 research teams allocated all over the country.
 Total given grant:
82,15 millions of euros 2006 notification
149,91 millions of euros 2007 notification
2008 budget: 70 millions of euros
Subsidies: 50 millions of euros
Credits (s.t. FEDER advance): 20 millions of euros
Committed expenses during the first two notifications: 232 millions of euros (
2006 to 2011 financial years).
Fundamental Research Projects
 Unique notification, with 3 essential parts, or types of projects:
 Part A: Young researchers.
 Part B: Medium or small size projects, in better conditions.
 Part C: 5 years funding.
 Funding budget: 425 millions of euros.
 Quantities imputation as indirect costs up to 21% of the whole project.
 Fulfilment with the management and resolution terms.
Fundamental Research Projects
Type A Projects
Projects for young talented researchers , with the following characteristics:
• Relevant and promising scientific-technological contributions.
• Different and innovative working lines.
The main researcher must be 40 years old maximum in the year of the publication
resolution and will have unique dedication to the project.
Type C Projects
Those developed by teams with working lines in the knowledge border and
previous quality results, as well as a proven and solvent trajectory within the
national and international scientific- technological community.
