Funding
The Meijers Institute is happy to assist staff members in the preparation of applications for research funding. Since January 2008 it is no longer possible to apply for a research intensive leave.

- It is becoming increasingly important to apply for external funding, such as subsidies, prizes, commissions, etc., to supplement University budgets. Unfortunately, the demand considerably exceeds the supply, but this does not mean that an application, particularly if it relates to a good idea, which has withstood a sound test of its content and which is supported by a precise (formal) implementation plan, should not have a good chance of success.
A good proposal starts with a good idea. A good idea can be summarized in one sentence in which its attraction, its current relevance and its significance are clearly indicated. The following criteria normally apply: strong research idea (innovative, with suitable methodology, academically and socially important, feasible) and a strong candidate (as demonstrated by his or her cv).
- The Meijers Institute manages such aspects as the application, setting a time schedule, checking the formal requirements, organising a check by peers as to the content of the proposal, and coordinating contacts between applicant, FEZ, donor and any other relevant persons. An internal procedure has been drawn up relating to this process.
