MPDL Project Aspects[edit]
The MPDL has annual budget for MPDL Projects, so called "Sonstige/Institutsübergreifende Maßnahmen". The following points apply:
- The outcome of a MPDL Project has to benefit more than one Max Planck Institute and has to be of scientific importance.
- A MPDL Project is always defined in close collaboration between the MPDL and one or more Max Planck Institutes.
(These two points are also the main review criteria) - An annual progress report in written form has to be delivered.
- 15 % of the granted budget is retained until the MPDL has positively reviewed the outcome of the project.
Application Stages[edit]
- The project proposal is prepared my members of the institutes and the MPDL
- The project proposal is submitted
- Two external (non-MPG) experts review the project proposal; the reviewers are chosen by a group of six people (three members of the steering committee LA sInfo and three from the MPDL)
- If necessary the project proposal can be revised once, after which it is reviewed again
- The steering committee LA sInfo of the MPDL decides on the basis of the proposal and the reviews about suggesting the project to the Präsidium for funding
- The Präsidium decides about funding the project
How to apply for funding for a MPDL Project (sonstige/institutsübergreifende Vorhaben)[edit]
The proposal should be formulated by a joint team of members of MPIs and the MPDL.
Components of the proposal[edit]
- Title and short name for the project
- Names of the persons responsible for the proposal (one from the MPDL and one from the institutes)
- Short description of the preparation phase, why and how the project was started (maximum half a A4 page)
- Short summary of the aims of the project
- Background information on the scientific importance of solving the problem
- Description of work including
- Project phases
- Description of work as well as number of person months and pay scale grouping of the corresponding positions
