Programme overview

Funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and administered by the DFG, the initiative supports projects that secure endangered data repositories relevant to research in Germany and Europe, ensures their long-term accessibility and helps strengthen resilient research data infrastructures. Funding may be provided for measures such as the procurement of necessary storage capacity, staff resources for making data accessible, curating it and aggregating it from a subject-specific perspective, as well as legal assessments. Funding is also available for measures to incorporate secured datasets into cross-regional or European structures and to develop frameworks and technologies that help integrate the relevant repositories and infrastructures into cross-regional or European networks. Proposal Submission and Webinar The DFG is also inviting researchers and research institutions to submit funding proposals for the year 2027.
