DFG Proposal Guide

Here is a short list of pointers to consider when writing a DFG proposal.

• You have to submit the proposal to the DFG portal 'Elan'. The web adress is https://elan.dfg.de and you can get Jans login credentials from him.
• You need to notify the RWTH about the planned proposal (should be enough shortly before submitting). You can find the formular here: https://www.rwth-aachen.de/cms/root/Forschung/Angebote-fuer-Forschende/Drittmittelportal/~cmuvo/Drittmittelinformationssystem-DIS/
• Current regulations by the DFG can be found through their FAQ: https://www.dfg.de/foerderung/faq/index.html
• We found a Latex template for the proposals. However, you need to compare it to the current DFG regulations regarding the structure etc. (https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/dfg-research-grants-programme-proposal-template/xbbjqskssjxq)
