What do we support?

 

AMMR supports primarily the development of applications to the following funding programs (follow the links for detailed information on each program and study the respective guidelines closely):

FWF ESPRIT Career Advancement for Postdocs

  • no application deadlines
  • project duration of 36 months
  • doctoral degree awarded no more than five years prior to the time of application (with the exception of justified career breaks)
  • no territoriality principle: applicants may at the time of application (and before) reside in any country

FWF Principal Investigator Projects

  • no application deadlines
  • project duration of up to 48 months
  • no territoriality principle: applicants may at the time of application (and before) reside in any country

The proposed projects should have a prospective duration of more than 12 months and a project budget of 100,000.00 to 450,000.00 EUR, depending on the provisions of the given funding program. If a given funding program allows for this option, proposed projects may include further project staff in addition to the principal investigator. The development of funding applications for projects with a shorter duration or a lower budget is not supported by AMMR grants.

A note on other funding programs:

MMRC may consider to support applications to other, comparable funding programs within which a research project at MMRC may be funded. This may include, for example, applications for ERC grants, applications to national funding agencies in countries around the world, or also applications to foundations and other private funding bodies. Minimum conditions for the support of applications to other funding programs are:

  • The program funds research projects hosted by MMRC, i.e., by a research center that is part of an Austrian public university.
  • The program funds research projects with a duration of more than 12 months.
  • The program funds research projects with a budget of more than 100,000 EUR.

In such a case, candidates have to inquire in advance with MMRC’s research coordinator Malik Sharif (sharif@mdw.ac.at) whether the development of an application to the respective funding program would be eligible for an AMMR grant.
