German Research Foundation Individual Grants Programme

[MyInfoStride]

The German Research Foundation (DFG) promotes research projects in all academic fields. Research grants offered in the individual grants programme are the central form of the research funding provided by the DFG. A research grant can be used to fund staff, scientific instrumentation, consumables, travel as well as most of the other financial requirements of a research project. The DFG requires the institution at which the project will be carried out to supply the necessary core support and resources.

Purpose:
To enable scientists and academics to carry out a research project on a specifically defined topic within a limited time period

Eligibility Requirements:
-   Qualified researchers (as a rule, those holding a doctorate) from all disciplines working at German research institutions
-   Researchers working at institutions which serve purely commercial purposes or those who are not permitted to publish findings in a generally accessible form are not eligible to apply.

Proposal Requirements:
A research project of high scientific quality and originality, carried out at an international level

Type and Extent of Funding:
Staff costs/temporary positions for principal investigators, funds for scientific instrumentation, consumables, travel, miscellaneous (e.g. contracts awarded to third parties) and publication costs.

Funding Duration:
The duration of funding is based on the individual project needs (as a rule, several years).

Renewal proposal: At least 6 months before the approved funds have been exhausted
