Funding Initiative to Secure Endangered Data Repositories and Promote Data Resilience 2025 to 2027
Support for preserving endangered research datasets held abroad and making them available to research communities in Germany and Europe. Projects can fund storage, specialist personnel, curation, legal assessment and integration with European data infrastructures. Proposals are accepted continuously until 30 September 2027; projects and expenditure must finish by 31 December 2027. Submission uses a DFG-provided upload link or an applicant-provided download link requested through the programme contact, rather than the usual elan route.
