Family Support during Covid 19 Pandemic - Year 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic and measures to contain the spread of the virus have often hit families particularly hard. PIs, PhD students and postdocs who have been affected by an acute, special family stress situation, such as closed or only partially opened schools, day-care facilities or other regular care facilities, can apply for a “Family support”.

With this support the SFB1399 aims at mitigating the Corona-induced damage in the working progress of research projects by supporting projects for up to 3 months each by paying a student assistant for a maximum of 10 h/week.
