The Postdoc Program of Goethe University
Pathway to Independent Research Funding
The Focus program supports highly qualified early career researchers at Goethe University up to six years after completing their PhD who are preparing an independent grant proposal based on an innovative research idea. The program aims to strengthen their prospects for external funding and support their path towards research independence. Participants are expected to submit an independent grant proposal within twelve months of the start of the funding period.
