Research Units
A Research Unit is made up of a team of researchers working together on a research project which, in terms of thematic focus, duration and finances, extends beyond the funding options available under the Individual Grants Programme.
Programme Variations:
- Clinical Research Units
- Humanities Centres for Advanced Studies
More information can be found at: http://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/programmes/coordinated_programmes/research_units/index.html
