MPDL Project Aspects[edit]
The MPDL has annual budget for MPDL Projects, so called "Sonstige/Institutsübergreifende Maßnahmen". The following aspects 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.
- 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 Steps[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
- If necessary the project proposal can be revised once, after which it is subject to review 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
