Key Dates
- •Call published 14 January 2026
- •Consortium requirement: 3+ countries with German participation
Tips for Applicants
- ✓The consortium structure is gating: projects with weak links between partners or unclear lead roles score poorly, map decision-making and resource distribution explicitly.
- ✓Frame the project within the European Partnership's published brain health priorities; unfocused multinational work does not align with DFG's strategic intent here.
- ✓Engage German co-applicants early in planning; DFG reviews the German contribution separately and weak domestic leadership hampers the whole proposal.
