First Grant
Female PhD-students of the GRK2062 have the opportunity to apply for extra funding (of up to 2.000 €) to carry out a so-called "mini-project" within the next 12 months. Creative projects which are particularly cost-intensive will be promoted.
To apply for funding please submit the following documents as single pdf-file by June 5, 2018 to grk2062@bio.lmu.de:
- Motivation/justification

Proposals will be evaluated by the GRK2062 Steering Committee.
