Writing successful research proposals for DFG funding lines in the Natural Sciences & Engineering
- Research Academy Ruhr
- For Postdocs
- Für Postdocs
- Workshop
During this online course, the participants receive an introduction to fundamental principles, tools and methods of proposal writing to get their research funded. The workshop will put a special emphasis on research funding of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).
Based on the training material, interactive discussions and relevant examples the participants learn how to develop a research idea into a project proposal and matching it to the goals of a targeted funding program of the DFG. Integrated exercises help participants to structure proposals that comply with funding requirements and reflect the reading behaviour of reviewers.
The participants work on written two-page outlines of their own funding ideas (“mini-proposals”) which are submitted to the trainer two weeks before the workshop. Participants improve their mini-proposals throughout the workshop and receive trainers' feedback on their proposal structure, content and language use.
The workshop will take place Mon, 7 June + Fri, 11 June + Mon, 14 June 2021, 09.00–13.00 h each day.
