Project Description – Coordination Proposal Priority Programme

[Title of Priority Programme]

[First name, last name, city of the coordinator]

1	Aims and objectives of the Priority Programme (Renewal proposal: Summary of research results from the current funding period / Aims and objectives of the Priority Programme for the next funding period)

[Text] 

2	Project- and subject-related list of publications
Works cited from section 1; please include DOI/URL if available. A maximum of ten of your own works cited may be highlighted; font at least Arial 9 pt.

[Text]

3	Requested modules
Explain each item in detail:

3.1	Module Coordination
Note that you can request gender inclusion funding regardless of whether you apply for coordination funding. Please describe the proposed measures separately.
For renewal proposals, explain, where applicable, how gender inclusion funding was used in the preceding funding period.

3.2	Module Network Funds (Funding for Staff, Direct Project Costs, Instrumentation)

[Text]

3.3	Module Start-Up Funding

[Text]

3.4	Module Standard Allowance for Equity and Diversity
What is the existing situation regarding equity and diversity in the research area (taking into account the DFG’s Research-Oriented Equity and Diversity Standards, www.dfg.de/equity_diversity_standards)? What measures are planned within the Priority Programme to promote gender equality for researchers, diversity in research and the compatibility of research and family (including care)? In renewal proposals, please provide career stage-specific information on the numbers and percentages of female researchers involved in the previous funding period as well as on the equity and diversity measures implemented. 

For the Priority Programme as a whole, a Standard Allowance for Equity and Diversity of up to €15,000 per funding year can be applied for to fund related measures (see www.dfg.de/equity/allowance).

4	Project requirements

4.1	Scientific equipment

4.2	Considerations on aspects of ecological sustainability in the planning and implementation of the project
In research as well, there is an urgent need for a further shift towards sustainable practices. Use this space to reflect on how sustainability considerations are taken into account in the network measures proposed and, if applicable, in the research processes within this coordination project. Here, you are expected to provide a brief statement that refers specifically to the network-specific plans. Research quality is the pivotal factor for the funding decision, however, so this is the priority in terms of planning the research; for this reason, resource-saving and emission-reducing measures should not result in restrictions in the desired knowledge gain. If increased funding is required due to more sustainable research approaches, this can be taken into account when applying for funds. For further information, see the cross-disciplinary catalogue of guiding questions: www.dfg.de/reflection_sustainability.
