<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span>The Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) decided to
extend the funding initiative on next generation sequencing (NGS) until
2023. Under this initiative, now in its
fourth round, the DFG invites proposals for projects in which
sequencing will be carried out at DFG-funded competence centres for next
generation sequencing at the universities of Bonn/Cologne/Düsseldorf,
Dresden, Kiel, and Tübingen. Applicants must meet the
standard eligibility criteria required in the research grants
programme. Proposals may be submitted individually or jointly by more
than one applicant, for instance, if additional expertise, such as
sample preparation and data analysis, is included. Only projects
whose sequencing cost requirement is scientifically justified and in
the mandatory range as mentioned above (€100,000 to €1 million) may be
requested. All proposals within this call are regular individual
research grants. New projects, particularly from the
life sciences, are invited to apply. In addition to requesting the
standard funding modules for individual grants (e.g. the basic module
including funding for staff, direct project costs and instrumentation),
the necessary need for sequencing costs must be
specified separately. Further, proposals may also be submitted that
result from projects that are currently being funded by either the DFG
or others and for which the need for increased sequencing requirements
has developed during the course of the project.
Such proposals must also be scientifically justified, i.e. address a
scientific question, and explain the adjustments to the original project
plan; however, when applying for funds, they may only include the
required sequencing costs. Proposals simply expanding
the original project plan, or solely descriptive approaches, will not
receive high priority.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span>Deadline: </span>
</b><span>25.08.2021; First-time applicants at the DFG please note that
you must register on the elan portal by 18.08.2021 before submitting an
application; applications cannot be submitted without registration.</span></p>
