5 Guidelines for Reviewing Renewal Proposals for Research Training Groups or International Research Training Groups I General Information Renewal proposals for Research Training Groups and International Research Training Groups are evaluated by a review panel during a generally two-day, on-site visit to the host university, on the basis of the proposal and a progress report from the first funding period. Information on pro- posal preparation and on-site reviews can be found in the "Proposal Instructions for Research Training Groups or International Research Training Groups (Renewal Proposals)" (DFG form 54.07). www.dfg.de/formulare/54_07 In the review, we ask that you evaluate the group's achievements to date as well as the proposal for the second funding period on the basis of the criteria for research and training specified below. Your comments and assessments will be recorded in writing and form the basis of the decision of the Grants Committee on Research Training Groups. We ask that you also rate the criteria for research using "excellent", "very good", "good", "satisfactory", or "unsatisfactory or not assessa- ble", and the criteria for training using "exemplary", "very convincing", "convincing", "satisfactory", or "inadequate or not assessable". These ratings are intended to support the Grants Committee in its task of assessing and comparing proposals and review outcomes from a wide range of subject areas. In addition, we ask that you comment on the requested funding amounts. The main criteria are whether the requested amounts have been conclusively justified and whether they will Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Kennedyallee

5 permit optimum research that is geared towards the objectives of the Research Training Group. For International Research Training Groups, in which the partner institution is expected to con- tribute equally to the group, you should also assess whether the foreign partner institution partic- ipates to an adequate extent. After the Grants Committee has decided on the proposal, the meeting minutes along with the funding decision will be submitted to the spokesperson of the proposed Research Training Group. II Review Criteria The review follows the criteria below, which arise from the objectives of the programme as spec- ified in the "Guidelines on Research Training Groups and International Research Training Groups" (DFG form 50.07). www.dfg.de/formulare/50_07 Please note that the overall objectives of a Research Training Group ? promoting high-quality research and early independence of doctoral researchers, ? international orientation and integration of the Research Training Group and its doc- toral researchers, and ? promoting gender equality and work-life balance each concern several aspects of a Research Training Group;

therefore we ask that you always take them into consideration when evaluating the different criteria. The criteria apply to the review of renewal proposals as well as to the review of the results of the first funding phase. In International Research Training Groups, the respective partner institution must also be reviewed. If reviewer comments were given in the establishment phase, please describe whether and how these have been implemented. Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft Kennedyallee
