With this program, the foundation supports independent research projects by postdocs. Up to EUR 150,000 can be applied for over a period of three years. For each project, the foundation expects an own contribution of at least 10% of the requested sum. The President’s Office decided in 2011 that this must be provided by the applicant's chair/
Since the University of Mannheim can only submit four proposals, there is an internal selection process (first stage). For this purpose, we ask for a short proposal containing the following documents:
– short outline of the planned project (max. 3 pages),
– CV,
– list of publications,
– planned budget,
– confirmation of the chair/
Please send the short proposals for the internal selection by Friday, 26 February 2021 via e-mail attached as one pdf-document to Katharina Bolle (katharina.bolleverwaltung.uni-mannheim.de), Division I.
An internal committee chaired by the Vice-president for Research and Early-Stage Researchers, Professor Erdfelder, will select four applications from the available proposals and will invite the corresponding applicants to submit a full proposal (second stage). All applicants will be informed about the results of the pre-selection in mid-March. After Division I has informed the Baden-Württemberg Foundation, the applicants will receive their individual access data for the applicant platform. The platform will be available from 7 May 2021. The prepared applications are to be uploaded there by the applicants themselves. All application documents must be uploaded by 20 May 2021 at the latest. Before the final submission of all application documents (see Call for Proposals, p. 6ff.), they must be formally reviewed by Division I in advance. The full proposal must therefore be sent by e-mail as a PDF document to Katharina Bolle by 10 May 2021 at the latest.
