## Summary

The DFG-UdeA Standing Open Procedure funds collaborative research projects between German institutions and Universidad de Antioquia in Colombia, accepting proposals continuously throughout the year. The call is open to researchers across all disciplines willing to form bilateral consortia, with German and Colombian partners each leading complementary work. There is no fixed deadline; proposals can be submitted at any time under this standing procedure.

## Who should apply

- Researchers based at accredited institutions in Germany and Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia
- Research teams ready to form bilateral consortia with named partners in both countries
- Projects spanning all research disciplines
- Applicants planning joint research activities and shared intellectual output

## Key dates

- Rolling deadline, proposals accepted continuously under the Standing Open Procedure
- No fixed submission window; plan for institutional processing timelines on both sides

## Tips for applicants

- Coordinate early with your UdeA partner; institutional sign-off from both countries can slow the timeline, so build in 2-3 months for administrative clearance before your target submission date.
- DFG expects balanced intellectual contribution from both sides, avoid dominant-partner structures where one country leads and the other merely supports.
- Use the standing procedure's flexibility to align submission with your research calendar, but check the DFG and UdeA websites for any interim policy changes before submitting.
