Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the Milheim Foundation allow indirect costs or overhead?
A: The Milheim no longer allows these costs.
Q: Does the Milheim Foundation fund postdoctoral fellows?
A: Fellows' partial salaries are allowed, and in general if these are a major part of the budget, the fellow should be the applicant rather than the research director.
Q: Does the Milheim Foundation fund graduate students, or undergraduates?
A: Yes, but in general these salaries are expected to be the responsibility of the research director, so specific justification for this expense is required. The Milheim Foundation usually does not fund applications written and submitted by students.
