General application process

TU Dortmund University supports you from advising you on the appropriate funding format to managing the projects you have acquired. You will always have one main contact person:

  • Prior to submission, the Grants Office provides coordinating advice,
  • after submission, theCorporate Center Finance and Procurement (Section Third-Party Funding Management and Legal Matters in Research).

You are welcome to make use of this advice as soon as you are considering submitting an application. It is not necessary to have a proposal ready; the idea is sufficient. In this way, formal and legal questions will be clarified in good time and problems in the project implementation are avoided.

Before submitting the application, a formal review by colleagues in the section Third-Party Funding Management and Legal Matters in Research is required and usually takes 10 working days. Please, allow time for this when preparing your application.

Application processes depending on the funding body

The application processes vary greatly depending on the funding provider and format. For example, some formats require legally binding signatures from the university management and corresponding checks, while others do not. To be on the safe side, you should discuss the application formalities with the Grants Office in advance. Please feel free to contact us!
