The DFG Research Grants Programme enables qualified researchers who have completed their academic training to carry out a research project on a specifically defined topic within a limited time period. The project must be of high scientific quality and originality, carried out at an international level. Funding duration is based on individual project needs, typically several years. The first proposal may be submitted at any time, and renewal proposals should be submitted at least 6 months before approved funds are exhausted.
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.
