National Research Data Infrastructure: Funding for Consortia | 2021 Call for Consortia Proposals (Round Three)
May, 12th 2021
The German federal and state governments reached an agreement in November 2018 to establish a national research data infrastructure (NFDI). Based on a research-driven process, the NFDI aims to systematically manage research data collections, provide long-term data storage, backup and accessibility, and netwark the data both nationally and internationally in accordance with the FAIR principles. With this third call, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) invites proposals for further NFDI consortia.
Proposals for NDFI consortia can only be submitted within calls. This third of three calls for proposals is now open, with an anticipated funding start of 1 October 2022. Proposals can initially be submitted for a funding period of five years.
You can find more information on the 3rd round of applications on the DFG website.
