Funding databases

Using the right database, you can find exactly the funding programme that suits your plans and your professional background.

  • ELFI - Service point for electronic funding information: The electronic research funding information system ELFI is available to all members of JLU. The database offers optimised solutions to search for subject-specific funding opportunities. In addition to calls for proposals from the EU as well as federal and state ministries, project sponsors, foundations and companies, ELFI evaluates all important databases with funding information. Please note that you can only use all the services offered by registering with JLU. If you have any questions regarding research and the use of the system, please contact Dr. Livia Kaiser (Livia.Kaiser) from the Staff Division Research (StF).
  • Donors' Association for the Promotion of Sciences and Humanities in Germany (Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft): You can use the funding search mask to find out whether there is a foundation that offers funding in the area you are looking for.
  • Association of German Foundations: The Association of German Foundations offers two online options for searching for suitable foundations. While the Basic variant offers fewer options and only includes about 12,000 foundation portraits, the paid Plus variant offers access to about 27,500 foundation portraits and more options.
  • Funding database of the federal government: The Federal Funding Database provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the funding programmes of the Federal Government, the Länder and the European Union.
