Call for Proposals: DFG Open Research Area (ORA) for the Social Sciences 2023
In order to strengthen international cooperation in the field of social sciences, wishing to fund high-quality scientific research within their own countries, and aware that some of the best research can be delivered by working with the best researchers internationally, the ORA partners are launching an eighth ORA call for proposals in order to fund the best joint research projects in the social sciences.
The scheme will provide funding for integrated projects of researchers coming from at least three of the four subscribing countries (France, Germany, UK, Canada). There is a possibility for cooperation partners in Japan (if applicable) to obtain special funding from a Japanese funding agency.
Proposals may be submitted in any area of the social sciences.
The call will follow a one-stage, one-application procedure. Funding will be distributed among the national agencies according to the affiliation of the researchers and according to the funding rules of each agency.
The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC, Canada) is the coordinating agency for this round. All proposals for this call will be submitted through the SSHRC Convergence Portal. For detailed guidance on how to submit proposals, please read the full Call for Applications here: https://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/funding_opportunities/international_cooperation/funding/ora/index.html
The deadline for the submission of proposals is Tuesday, 14 November 2023, 17:00 Eastern Time (23:00 Central European Time).
Please note that applicants based in Germany are also required to submit their proposal (identical documents) using the DFG’s elan portal. If you are using the elan system for the first time, you need to set up an elan account by 7 November 2023 the latest.
Webinar for potential applicants
The DFG will hold a webinar for potential applicants on 21 September 2023. The webinar will be open to participants from around the world and will provide information and guidance from the funders on the requirements of the call as well as an opportunity for questions and answers.
