By the deadline of 29 October 2013 the Council had received 197 applications for DFF-Research Project 1 and 88 applications for DFF-Research Project 2. The total amount applied for was approximately 928 mio. DKK.
Please find below the list of applications that the Council, on its meeting the 27-29 May 2013, decided to support with either a full or limited grant. A few applications are on a waiting list. The applicants will receive information concerning this by e-mail, and the applications will be re-processed in November 2013 at latest.
Please be advised that the Council cannot be held responsible for printing errors and reserves the right to adjust the granted amounts listed. Changes to the granted amount may, for instance, be adjusted if overlapping grants are awarded from other funding sources, or if the overhead rate has been inaccurately applied. Specific requirements may also be attached to individual grants.
Grant letters and rejection letters
Grant letters and rejection letters will be sent out during the summer 2013. All correspondence will be sent to the e-mail address included on the electronic application form. On the basis of the conditions and evaluation criteria set out in the Call, the letters of rejection will contain a brief explanation pointing out the main academic reasons, why the grant has not been awarded.
