Package Proposals
DFG Package Proposals support the coordinated review of multiple thematically related but independent research projects to advance interconnected scientific questions.
Funder: German Research Foundation
Due Dates: Rolling (no fixed deadline)
Funding Amounts: No formal upper limit; funding and duration tailored to project needs, typically 1–3 years per project.
Summary: Supports joint submission and coordinated review of thematically related but independent research projects.
Description
Package Proposals from the German Research Foundation (DFG) enable researchers to submit several thematically related but independent research projects together for coordinated review. Each project is evaluated on its own merits, but their topical proximity allows for cross-referencing, fostering a cohesive approach to related research questions. This structure supports collaborative progress while maintaining the independence of each project. If the research objective requires a closely coordinated, collaborative environment, applicants should consider the DFG Research Unit program instead.
