The maximum sponsorship period is 24 months for postdocs and 18 months for experienced researchers. If your research project cannot be completed within the time available, you may apply for an extension up to the above-mentioned maximum sponsorship period, stating your reasons for the request. The extension period may however not be longer than the originally approved period.

Extensions to pursue a new research project or a new topic that has developed from the original research project cannot be approved.

Under certain circumstances, you may also apply for an extension of the research fellowship in the context of further support for families or if you have a disability (see Guidelines A.2.6.3.1. and A.2.6.3.2. or A.2.7.).

A corresponding application should be received by the Foundation three to four months before your research fellowship ends.
