Time to contract
The evaluation process of the Christian Doppler Research Association (CDG) allows applications to be 
revised before further processing or for the conditions for further processing of an application to be es-
tablished (neither case constitutes a rejection of the application). Longer times to contract can arise in 
such cases. These applications make up 18% of the examined applications and are specially indicated. The 
average time to contract from submission to approval is given for the years 2017–2019.
• Application processing time: 153 days;
• Processing time for applications with revision: 317 days.
Number of consulting sessions for (potential) funding recipients
Information events and scheduled consulting sessions in the General Secretariat are documented (un-
scheduled telephone consults are not included). In addition, consulting sessions are occasionally conduct-
ed by the Scientific Board if applicants wish this after a deferral for revision or a rejection.

Possibilities for international cooperation
CD Laboratories can also be established at foreign universities/research institutions. In addition, CD Lab-
oratories offer the option of operating one or more of their modules at a foreign location. A domestic CD 
Laboratory may also engage foreign company partners.
