The project for which the grant is requested must be completed by the end of this period.  \n\n\n\n  \nApplicants\nApplicants must be individuals\, researchers\, or cultural creators who are Spanish nationals residing in Spain\, or nationals of other countries residing in Spain\, in accordance with the terms set forth in these guidelines; they must demonstrate compliance with the residency requirement by submitting the documentation specified in Section 5. \nApplicants must be between the ages of 30 and 45 (inclusive) at the time of application. \nLegal entities of any kind\, associations\, joint ownership entities\, or groups of applicants organized under any other form of association are not eligible to apply for this call for proposals. \nIf the proposed project were to be carried out at a university\, a public research center\, a private (nonprofit) research center\, or a hospital\, the applicant must be affiliated with that institution at the time the acceptance agreement is signed. \nApplying for this call for applications is incompatible with having been a recipient of a BBVA Foundation Leonardo Scholarship in previous years. \nThe grant applied for must be the primary—and preferably sole—source of funding for the project submitted under this call for proposals. If you have applied for or been awarded one or more other sources of funding for the project submitted\, this information must be expressly stated in the application\, clearly identifying the source\, amount\, and intended use of the funding requested or awarded.  \n  \nDocumentation\nEach applicant may submit only one application for this call for applications.
