Funding Opportunity for Dutch-German Research Projects
The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and the Dutch Research Council (NWO) are pleased to announce a funding opportunity for joint Dutch-German research projects. The funding opportunity is planned as a three-year pilot for a joint Lead Agency Procedure with the NWO Domain Science. It is open for proposals that fit the scope of the NWO Domain Science and the corresponding DFG review boards.
Scope
Dutch-German research teams are invited to submit their joint research proposals within the scope of basic research in the remit of the NWO Domain Science (Astronomy, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics) and the corresponding DFG review boards.
Eligibility
Each research project must be conducted jointly by a team of applicants from the Netherlands and Germany. The principal investigators on each side must be eligible to apply to their respective funding organisation: applicants in the Netherlands must meet the eligibility requirements of NWO Open Competition Domain Science – M programme, applicants in Germany must meet the eligibility requirements of the DFG’s Research Grants Programme.
Project Requirements
Applicants should demonstrate how bringing together researchers based in the Netherlands and Germany will add value and advance their research. It is expected that each partner contributes substantially to the common project. Projects should be integrated but do not have to be symmetrical in terms of funds applied for. However, work packages are expected to be delivered with a reasonably equal distribution between the partners and schedules should be well coordinated. The teams of applicants should ensure there is a plan for effective delivery and coordination of research among the partners.
Please note that the duration of the projects must not exceed 36 months. Proposals must be written in English.
Proposals can be submitted at any time during the three-year pilot phase (6 August 2024 until 30 July 2027). Find out more: https://www.dfg.de/de/aktuelles/neuigkeiten-themen/info-wissenschaft/2024/ifw-24-64
