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
You can find more information at the website of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation).
Do you intend to establish a Research Unit? We provide assistance and support during the application phase.
