Machine-classified from the call text; check eligibility at the source. 23 Oct 2026

Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant type

The exact route announcement names the Państwowy Instytut Geologiczny – Państwowy Instytut Badawczy (PIG-PIB) as grant beneficiary. No other applicant type is listed for this grant call.

Application restriction

Apply using the correct GWD form, electronically with an electronic signature or with the stated paper fallback when electronic signing is unavailable. Access criteria include timely, complete application, listed beneficiary, no applicant-attributable NFOŚiGW agreement termination/cancellation in the preceding three years (except termination by mutual agreement), compliance with public-law obligations to NFOŚiGW, competent authorities or other entities, compliance with civil-law obligations to NFOŚiGW, programme-aligned project, no completion before filing, and matching project/funding period and form. Qualitative assessment requires a positive ministerial opinion; the regulations allow one correction at each stage.

Application restriction

The call announcement gives a continuous-route intake from 14 October 2019 through 23 December 2026 at 15:30, or until allocation exhaustion. The exact 22 October 2026 local record says open; GWD submission availability was not tested.

Application restriction

Eligible-cost period stated by the programme is 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2030. For this continuous call, the linked general guidance says the version in force on application filing applies. The retained linked PDF is dated September 2014; whether a superseding version is in force on a later filing must be checked.

Eligible project scope

The programme distinguishes statutory state geological service (PSG) and KAPS CO₂ tasks from geological research/works for environmental protection. For the grant lane, §7.4(1) names PIG-PIB as beneficiary for projects in §7.5(1); §7.5(1) defines the statutory PSG/KAPS CO₂ task category. The stated up-to-100% intensity is specifically limited to statutory PSG/KAPS CO₂ tasks.

Eligible project scope

For the statutory PSG task category, the project must either appear in the annual work plan approved by the minister responsible for environment or be a separate additional state task in geology entrusted by that minister under Geological and Mining Law art. 162(2). For the statutory KAPS CO₂ task category, the project must comprise tasks listed in that law or be an additional KAPS CO₂ task entrusted by the minister under art. 163a(2)(2). These are project-scope conditions for the statutory PSG/KAPS branch, not additional conditions for the separate environmental-protection geological research branch.

Other condition

All general costs must be lawful, necessary for the project and effect, incurred within the applicable period by the beneficiary or a Fund-approved authorized cost bearer, agreed in the cost schedule, documented/accounted for and not excluded. No duplicate public funding; recoverable VAT is ineligible.

Other condition

This exact route is identified as DOTACJA and the announcement states grant funding. Under the wider programme, §7.4(2) provides transfer of funds for state budget units on §7.5(2) projects; that instrument does not apply to this PIG-PIB grant route.

Other condition

The programme requires three market-research offers covering the requested work, or at least one where fewer potential contractors exist, and selection criteria; this requirement excludes own work by PSG/KAPS CO2 entities.

Other condition

Where the programme grant constitutes public aid, it must be awarded in accordance with the applicable public-aid rules; the source does not make this conditional rule universal for every grant.

Call allocation

PLN 1,905,000,000

Programme allocation for non-repayable support is up to PLN 1,905,000,000. No remaining route allocation or per-project award cap was found in the retrieved call materials. The announcement says filing ends earlier if allocation is exhausted.

Eligible cost

The route catalogue expressly lists: equipment/outfitting; site preparation/restoration; technological construction/modernization; research drilling and drilling technology/core sampling; demolition; installation of equipment; statutory geological works; spoil transport and waste management; geological/hydrogeological field, geophysical, lab and pumping studies when in a geological works project; geological designs/documentation/maps/atlases/studies; guides/monographs; geological supervision; and project-related conferences/seminars/training for §7.4(1) beneficiaries. All costs remain subject to route scope, agreement and the cumulative eligibility rules.

Eligible cost

For statutory PSG/KAPS CO₂ tasks only, programme item 14 additionally lists PIG-PIB net outlays, subcontractor and purchase gross outlays, eligible indirect costs, leasing/rental of fleet/geological/IT equipment with specified related charges and without mandatory title transfer to PIG-PIB, gross operating costs, equipment service/repairs, wages and employer charges, outside services/technical advice, business travel and other justified direct costs. This list is not automatically extended to environmental-protection research.

Eligible cost limit

3 percent of eligible project costs

General guidance cap on project-management costs unless programme provides otherwise. Costs must be justified in application and agreement; employee management time must be proportionally identified. Distinct from the special up-to-30%-of-pay indirect-cost allowance for statutory PSG/KAPS tasks.

Eligible cost limit

30 percent of personnel remuneration

Special allowance only for statutory PSG/KAPS CO2 tasks; limited to classes in the NFOŚiGW catalogue of eligible indirect costs. Excludes PIG-PIB negligence costs, unrelated general administration and depreciation of assets purchased with NFOŚiGW/public/EU money. Not the general project-management cost cap.

Funding intensity, maximum

100 percent of eligible costs

Only for statutory state geological service or KAPS CO2 tasks specified in the Geological and Mining Law. This is not a general intensity for all environmental-protection geology projects; individual eligibility and award are subject to the programme and agreement.

Ineligible cost

General guidance excludes application-form preparation, legal advice, in-kind contribution, recoverable VAT, duplicate public financing, certain social-fund/severance/award/benefit costs, fines/penalties and civil-contract remuneration for a person already paid under project-management costs and/or whose employment duties include project implementation. Any programme-specific override remains limited to its express scope.

• Other role

  Staff cost the grant can fund

  Conditional fundable personnel category only for statutory state geological service/KAPS CO2 tasks; the specific programme catalogue expressly lists wages and related charges in that scope. Apply the current cost-guideline version, direct-project and agreement requirements, accounting/documentation rules, and exclusions. This does not establish that any hire is required or specify headcount, job title, salary or rate. Do not extend this allowance automatically to the distinct environmental-protection geology project type.
