IMPORTANT NOTE:
Current revision of the Internal University Research Funding Funding Programs (Stufe I)
The funding programs for internal university research funding (Stufe I) are currently undergoing strategic development and fundamental revision.
As part of this realignment and due to necessary budgetary adjustments, until further notice the funding lines
- “Promotion of Third Party-funded Research” and
- “Organization of Academic Events”
will no longer be available in their current form.
JGU is currently working on a future framework of its internal research funding lines. A key priority is to continue providing targeted support, particularly to researchers in early career stages, and to offer suitable funding opportunities for the development of their own research projects.
Further information on the future funding structures will be published as soon as the relevant coordination processes are completed. The information on this website will be updated accordingly.
Members of the University Medical Center please refer to the informations provided by Ressort Forschung und Lehre at UM.
Backdated applications are not accepted. Please submit all applications in advance.
Please note that all applications must be received by November 15, 2026.
For applications involving a specific faculty, e.g., when teaching duties have to be assumed by a third party, an agreement with the respective deanship is a prerequisite for the application. Failure to do so results in delayed processing of the application or exclusion from the application process. In order to prevent double funding, applications in the scientific field of a Top-Level or High-potential Research Areas of JGU must include a statement regarding possible co-financing by the respective research center/ unit. Please mark the respective field on the application form. A failure of co-financing does not diminish your chances of receiving funding for a project in "Stufe I".
- Business entertainment expenses are not billable with "Stufe I" funds.
- Habilitation projects and publication fees cannot be funded.
- Once funding is approved, applicants are required to start their project promptly. A delay of over 6 months without proper justification will result in clawback of any unspent funds.
- Applications for financial support of excursions go to Referat FIN 3 (Ms. Krick).
