The DFG is the central self-governing research funding organisation in Germany. It serves the sciences and humanities and promotes research of the highest quality in all its forms and disciplines at universities and non-university research institutions. The DFG funds research projects, creates competitive opportunities and conducts procedures for the review, evaluation, selection and decision of research proposals. It helps shape the overall conditions and standards of academic research. The DFG maintains dialogue with society, politics and business and supports the transfer of knowledge. It advises state institutions and institutions working in the public interest on issues relating to academic research and research policy. Moreover, the DFG takes particular care to promote international cooperation, early career researchers, gender equality and diversity in science and the humanities. The DFG's budget is provided primarily by the German federal government and the states.
