The research funding service team (VI C) supports all the scientists and scholars at Freie Universität in all matters related to research funding. The team members provide targeted and specific information about current funding calls from third-party sources, as well as information about particular funding programs that could come into question for a particular person. In addition, they provide advice about procedures regarding the application for and administration of external funds. However, the unit’s monitoring and support activities involving the progress of these research projects go beyond purely budgetary and financial activities.
