Om ansøger

Du skal have betydelig, selvstændig forskningserfaring på højt internationalt niveau. Du skal have opnået ph.d.-graden mindst 8 år før ansøgningsfristens udløb. Hvis du ikke har en ph.d.-grad, skal du have opnået kvalifikationer, der kan sidestilles hermed (f.eks. positiv adjunktbedømmelse) mindst 8 år før ansøgningsfristens udløb. Specifikke orlovsperioder skal fratrækkes i beregningen af ph.d.-alder, jf. afsnit 12 i opslaget.

Dine hidtidige resultater vil blive vurderet i relation til dit karriereforløb og i relation til de videnskabelige udfordringer i det ansøgte projekt.

Om ansøgningen

Når du skriver en ansøgning til DFF, skal du være særligt opmærksom på, xxx

Ph.d.- og postdocstipendier

Du kan søge om midler til indlejrede ph.d.- og postdocstipendier, når disse er velintegrerede og udfylder en tydelig, selvstændig funktion i forskningsprojektet

Indlejrede postdoc-kandidater skal have opnået ph.d.-graden inden for de seneste 4 år før udløbet af ansøgningsfristen. Hvis indlejrede postdoc-kandidater ikke har en ph.d.-grad, skal de have opnået kvalifikationer, der kan sidestilles hermed (f.eks. positiv adjunktbedømmelse) inden for de seneste 4 år før udløbet af ansøgningsfristen. Specifikke orlovsperioder skal fratrækkes ved beregning af ph.d.-alder, jf. afsnit 12.

Hvis du som ansøger ikke er lektor eller lektorbedømt og søger midler til forskeruddannelse som en del af det samlede projekt, skal du redegøre for, hvordan vejledningen kan gennemføres, og hvordan den forskerstuderendes faglige tilknytning til projektet bliver sikret.

Du skal redegøre for den påtænkte rekrutteringsproces, hvis du i ansøgningen søger om midler til unavngivne ph.d.-studerende og/eller unavngivne postdocs. Hvis en navngiven postdoc-kandidat er ph.d.-studerende på ansøgningstidspunktet, skal der vedlægges en erklæring fra vejleder om aflevering af ph.d.-afhandlingen inden for 6 måneder efter ansøgningsfristen.

Budget

Du kan søge om op til BELOEB kr. ekskl. overhead. Budgettet skal udarbejdes i den obligatoriske budgetskabelon, som downloades i e-grant.

Der er ikke fastsat en nedre grænse for beløbsrammen, og det er op til ansøger at vurdere, hvor mange midler der ansøges (inden for den maksimalt tilladte beløbsramme), og som er påkrævet for at gennemføre det konkrete forskningsprojekt. Projekt- og beløbsstørrelse har ikke betydning for vurderingen af ansøgningen, men fonden vil lægge vægt på, hvorvidt der i det ansøgte projekt er en klar sammenhæng mellem budget, tidsplan og arbejdsplan.
