Grants for postgraduate education and research can be applied for by doctoral students and by researchers at the beginning of their postdoctoral research career (maximum 8 years after dissertation). It is also possible to apply for a start-up grant for doctoral students who are not yet registered.
Framework grants can be applied for by independent researchers who are associate professors/research group leaders/team leaders (maximum 12 years after dissertation).
