The Office of Finance and Research Grants acts as liaison between researchers, funding agencies and inhouse administration to support scientists while ensuring that formal legal, financial and grant requirements are met. The Grants Team is in charge of pre-award and post-award support, and the management of third-party funded projects at MPI-CBG. Post-award support is in close cooperation with the finance department. On this page you’ll find information about the main funding sources, as well as some additional opportunities for researchers who are thinking of applying. This is also your first port of call if you’ve decided to apply but you are not sure where to start from.
