Qualified personnel cannot always be recruited and hired in time for the start of funding. It is usually possible to request a cost-neutral extension in this case to compensate for the lost project time. Coordinate this with the funding agency or project management agency in a timely manner. Please note, especially for new hires, the binding processing times for the HR department.
The DFG liaison officer is available as a contact person on site for the application process, but also for questions of doubt regarding the application processing by the DFG Head Office and the decision by the DFG committees.
