DAAD Research Grants

Grants are awarded to highly qualified candidates who have completed a master's degree to pursue a research project in Germany.

Overview

Research Grants offered through DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) are awarded to highly qualified candidates who have completed a master’s degree, or in exceptional cases, a bachelor’s degree at the latest by the time they begin their grant-supported research.

Long-Term Research Grants can offer you the chance to pursue a 7-12 month research project in Germany, or even a bi-national doctoral degree program through the Research Grant Cotutelle Doctoral Programs in Germany.

If you are looking for a short-term opportunity to pursue a research project in Germany, short-term research grants are awarded for stays from 1-6 months and applications take place twice per year, in November and May.

The German Studies Research Grant is a specialized DAAD program that offers grants to highly-qualified undergraduate and graduate students who are nominated by the professor supervising their research project. The grant may be used for short-term research (one to two months) in Germany.
