The Research Fellowships Programme supports early career researchers to conduct a defined research project at a location of their choice abroad, enabling them to familiarize themselves with new research methods or bring a large project to a conclusion. Funding includes a basic fellowship, monthly lump sum, and additional allowances for travel, publication costs, and family support. The programme has expired, but renewal proposals and return grants can still be submitted.

German researchers from all disciplines who have completed their doctorate, and international researchers who have completed their doctorate, have been resident in Germany for several years, and have completed at least three years of scientific work as a doctoral or postdoctoral researcher in the German research system, and state their intention to continue research in Germany in the future. Limitations apply to early career researchers currently abroad; established researchers holding a doctorate may also apply for projects of particular importance.
