Data disclaimer: All data sourced from the public DFG GEPRIS database (gepris.dfg.de). Grant counts reflect simultaneously running projects at the time of scraping — not total career grants, not project budgets, and not personal income or private wealth. Subject classifications are normalised from GEPRIS codes; original German classifications are preserved and shown where available. This tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by the DFG.
Data currency: This database was last scraped in April 2026 and is updated periodically. It does not claim real-time accuracy. Ended or transferred projects may still appear until the next refresh.
