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).
