General Information on Preparing a Proposal
and
Template for Initial Proposals	

1.	General Information
The information contained in the proposal should provide a detailed outline of both the research programme and the structural aspects as well as the budget; explanations should be concise but given in sufficient detail to aid the reviewers in their assessment. 

Proposals will be evaluated with regard to the research centre as a whole, as well as to each research area. 
Proposals should describe their success with the existing structures (programmes, working groups, networks), on which the research centre is based. In preparing the proposal, please consider the objectives contained in the programme guidelines (DFG-form 67.10e).

The universities, as the applicants in this programme, are expected to provide adequate core support, not including the 20% supplement to cover indirect expenses, which will be funded by this programme. The core support should be specified in the proposal. 

2.	Technical Instructions 
Proposals must be submitted in English. Proposals may be additionally submitted in German on special request. Please contact the DFG´s Head Office in advance.
Please use the attached proposal template. Proposals should be printed and bound in A4 format. The proposal and appendices should form one volume.

Proposals for DFG-Research Centres are limited to 120 pages (chapters 1 - 3), use Arial 11 pt font and 1.5 line spacing for the text; for the formation of tables other font size and line spacing are acceptable. 
Please understand that proposals exceeding 120 pages (with respect to chapter 1 – 3), or not formatted as stated above, or containing additional appendices cannot be accepted.

Complete all tables in this proposal template, unless otherwise indicated. The numbering and headings of the tables may be revised and further tables may be added in chapters 1 – 3 (but not in the appendices). 

If abbreviations are used, please include a list of abbreviations and their corresponding definitions after the table of contents.

Please add two or three blank pages for reviewers’ notes (preferably of a different light colour) in front of each research area. Those blank pages should not be included in the page numbering.

When compiling the budget please take into account DFG rates for salary expenses: DFG-form 60.12. Regarding the application of funds please consider also DFG/WR-form exin10.

Publications: The most important publications by members of the research centre should be listed in the appendix of the proposal in the sections 4.1 and 4.2 and with the CVs (section 4.4.). The proposal should be able to stand on its own and be understandable, coherent and assessable without the need to read additional documents. For a more comprehensive description of the current state of the art, additional papers (by the participating researchers and/or others) may be cited in the sections 1.4 and 2.3 (but not in an additional appendix). Please note that only published or accepted manuscripts may be cited within the proposal; manuscripts at any other stage (e.g. planned, submitted, under revision, conditionally accepted, forthcoming, etc.) will not be accepted.>
3.	Submission
Please send 20 copies of the proposal to the DFG’s Head Office and at least two copies to the relevant state ministry (or ministries). 

Additionally, a draft of the statute should be submitted (please consider DFG-form exin20).

The proposal and the draft of the statute should also be submitted electronically on CD-ROM to the DFG’s Head Office. The proposal, including all appendices, should be contained in one PDF file.
