The German research foundation, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), is offering €175 million in funding to support grantees whose work has been disrupted by the COVID-19 lockdowns. The support package, according to the foundation’s 25 May announcement, is to “allow additional staff and project funding to be requested across a wide range of funding programmes, allowing research work that cannot be carried out as originally planned to be continued and completed.” It said the funding is available to “the majority” of its 30,000 existing research projects. The first in line to receive grants are projects for which funding ended or will end between 1 April 2020 and 30 June 2021.
