This DFG programme is a structured, multi-phase workshop that mentors up to 20 early-career vascular surgery researchers in Germany through developing a full DFG grant proposal, from initial planning sessions through a workshop week and on to submission. It targets individual applicants, generally within 6 years post-doctorate and pre-Habilitation, based in a research-active working group, and excludes interventional clinical trial projects. Unlike a standard funding call, the output is guided proposal development rather than direct project funding, spanning September 2026 through a spring 2028 alumni workshop.

Tips for Applicants
- ✓Frame your application around a fundable DFG proposal idea from the outset, since the whole programme is structured toward a 30 September 2027 submission.
- ✓Keep your project outside interventional clinical trial territory, that scope belongs to the separate DFG Clinical Trials Programme and will disqualify a workshop application.
- ✓Confirm your working group's research activity and your post-doctorate/pre-Habilitation status align with the eligibility window before applying, and budget for the €150 participation fee.
