General information:
The Re-Invitation Program helps the DAAD maintain contact with its former one-year scholarship holders. Former scholarship holders can apply for funding to spend one to three months completing a research or work project at a university or research institute in Germany.

Institution:
DAAD German Academic Exchange Service

Eligibility:
Former DAAD one-year scholarship holders who have been back in the US or Canada for at least three years.

Applicants at US or Canadian universities or research institutions who hold a PhD (or equivalent) and have been working in research or teaching full time for at least two years after receipt of the doctorate are eligible.

Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the US or Canada.

Applicants should possess adequate knowledge of the German language to carry out the proposed research. This requirement is not obligatory for applicants in the natural or engineering sciences.

Applicants may not hold a DAAD grant and a grant from another German or German-American organization concurrently for the same project.

DAAD support for a research can only be awarded once in any three-year period.

A change of dates for recipients of the Re-Invitation Grant is a rare exception granted only in special circumstances.

Value and duration:
Depending on the applicant's academic status, the monthly award will amount to €1,840 for assistant lecturers, assistant professors and young lecturers, and €1,990 for professors. In rare cases, up to €2,240 may be awarded.

If the applicants' research project requires travel within Germany DAAD may provide a travel subsidy.

All DAAD Grantees receive mandatory health insurance through DAAD. Their monthly contribution to the insurance is deducted from the stipend: €127 for women and €69 for men.

Application deadline:
15 May, 15 November
