The grants for research projects involve, depending on the type of project, the assumption of costs for personnel, travel, materials and/or other costs.
For projects that are conducted by one scholar alone, a research scholarship has to be applied for.
Fields in which the projects can be submitted:
- Archeology
- History of Art
- Historical Islamic Studies
- History
- History of Science
- History of Law
- Prehistory and Early History
Project staff on research projects may only be financed by PhD or research grants. A fundamental prerequisite for a grant is that project staff conduct their own research, which is published under their name. The simultaneous receipt of salary or retirement pension and a research scholarship is not possible.
The period of support for Foundation stipend holders working on Ph.D. or research projects can be extended by up to 12 months if the holder becomes a parent during the period covered by the stipend and has an entitlement to maternity or parental leave. Individual arrangements must be discussed with the Foundation’s administrative office.
Award payments depends on the type of contract.
