In the central fund for research project funding measures, Paderborn University provides financial resources to support you in submitting proposals to the coordinated programmes of the DFG and the EU. In addition, there is also the possibility of start-up funding (so-called start-up aid) for individual DFG projects, which is awarded on a decentralised basis by the faculties. For further information on start-up funding, please contact the office of the Commission for Research and Early Career Researchers (FK).

To apply for your own position (e.g. within a grant application, in the Emmy Noether or Heisenberg Programme), an employer's declaration is required. Please contact the Research Unit in good time (ideally 4 weeks before the planned submission).

The DFG grants a programme allowance of 22% on project expenditure to cover indirect project costs. At UPB, the lump sum is collected centrally by the university. As compensation, the project leaders receive a research premium from budget funds amounting to 40% of the original lump sum.

Cross-cutting issues are becoming increasingly important in the preparation and assessment of funding applications. These include equal opportunities, diversity and family friendliness, internationality, career advancement, research data management and sustainability. We support you in this and act as an interface to other service areas of the university.

DFG Liaison Lecturer at Paderborn University is Prof. Dr Claudia Öhlschläger.
