Background:
The review boards of the German Research Foundation (DFG) are democratically elected scientific supervisory bodies. In a three-stage process consisting of review, evaluation and decision, the review boards are responsible for assessing funding proposals to the DFG, thereby ensuring quality assurance in the review process.
The review boards are also involved in the further development and design of the DFG's funding programs and in the discussion of funding policy issues.
