  • KID: contact FyFa HR for green light approval
  • VR starting, consolidator or distinguished grant: contact Roelinde Middelveld for help with letters of support
  • VR International postdoc or other postdoc grants that require employment at FyFa: contact FyFa HR before applying for confirmation of employment possibility

  • VR budgets and other budgets: if you need help, contact the FyFa finance unit
  • Feedback/critical reading of applications and project plans: contact Roelinde
