The Center Research Grants takes responsibility for the documentation of the IfW’s third party funding record and the improvement of conditions to raise third party research funds for the Institute. Specifically, it informs IfW researchers about potential sources for research grants, facilitates contacts to funding donors, disseminates current and planned calls for research grant applications and provides administrative support for IfW submissions. The main focus of the Center is on EU grants as well as on grants from German research foundations and the federal government.
