Summary of the instructions
The target group for the guidelines is the KID steering group.
Those deemed suitable by their institution to be the main supervisor of a doctoral student (approved ‘green light’ decision) are eligible to apply for KID funding. Applications can have up to two co-applicants.
Applications are assessed in two stages: Stage 1 involves the assessment of a short outline application. Those who proceed from there submit a full application. The reviewers are active researchers at KI organised into different review panels.
Those who are granted funding then recruit a doctoral student.
