The purpose of these grants is to promote the incorporation of research personnel, both Spanish and foreign, with an outstanding track record in research organisations, so that they can acquire the skills and abilities that will enable them to obtain a stable position in a research organisation in the Spanish Science, Technology and Innovation System, specifically encouraging the incorporation of researchers who have been working abroad for a certain period of time.

The Juan de la Cierva grants are intended to encourage the incorporation of young people, in possession of a doctorate degree, in order to complete their postdoctoral research training in Spanish R&D centres. Participants must meet the requirement of holding a doctoral degree and have obtained it between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2023 for general access and for JDC-INIA-CCAA access and between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2023 for access for people with disabilities equal to or greater than 33 percent, unless they accredit a cause for interruption in accordance with the call for applications.
The applications for participation are submitted by the R&D centres and include the participants for their incorporation into the research teams.
