The DFG regularly restructures and updates its Forms and Guidelines. You should therefore use the latest templates.
You can always request the latest budget calculation bases from us.
For additional information on the research context, such as research data management, gender and diversity, ethics and environmental sustainability, please contact us.
Proposals are submitted to the DFG via the elan portal. Registration is required for submission, which can take up to three working days. The elan flyer provides more information on e-proposals.

The dates of the review board meetings are not announced publicly, but can often be requested by telephone from the relevant department at the DFG Head Office. The DFG itself provides an overview of the committee meetings.
The main role of the DFG Liaison Officers at the University of Passau is to support DFG applicants and project leaders in case of uncertainties and questions of doubt in all phases of the proposal process and to mediate between the DFG and the internal parties involved if necessary.
More information on the activities in general can be found on the DFG website.
