Research Grants for PhD Students & Young Academics: Research grants provide young foreign academics and scientists with an opportunity to carry out a research project or a course of continuing education and training at a German state (public) or state-recognised higher education institution or non-university research institute.
The prime goal is the funding of the doctoral dissertation. Specifically, this grant serves the following purposes:
Duration:
Support for full doctoral programmes in Germany is based on a programme length of three years; if foreign graduates first have to qualify for admission to a doctoral programme, then grants can be awarded for a period of four years.
Even when support has been awarded for a full doctoral programme, that award will initially be limited to a maximum of one year.
Extensions then depend on whether or not the evaluation finds the previous award period to have been successfully completed.
Value:
Depending on the award holder's academic level, the DAAD will pay a monthly award of 750 euros (graduates holding a first degree) or 1,000 euros (doctoral candidates).
As a rule, the scholarship additionally includes certain payments towards health insurance cover in Germany.
Furthermore, the DAAD generally will pay an appropriate flat-rate travel allowance, unless these costs are covered by the home country or by another funding source.
