German term

Mantelantrag

German to English Social Sciences Science (general)
The context is an application for a research grant. The research project consists of a number of subprojects that are tied together by a common focus on a specific research question. The common text of the proposal is referred to as "Mantelantrag" as opposed to the specific proposals for the various parts of the project. What would a common translation for "Mantelantrag" be?

Thanks for your help! I greatly appreciate any suggestions!

3 application for program grant

Stephan Elkins (asker) May 7, 2015:
Proposal summary Berit's suggestion might also work in this context. Thanks!
Berit Kostka, PhD May 5, 2015:
I might be wrong, but as far as I understand it, the Mantelantrag plus the subprojects make up the "grant application" or "grant proposal" as a whole (which can be a joint or collaborative grant proposal). I would therefore think that the Mantelantrag specifically could be the equivalent to the proposal summary (or objective or outline or plan, however you want to call it), and the subprojects are part of the detailed statement of how to achieve those project aims.

@ Lancashireman Now that's what I'd call a perfect example of the KISS (=keep it simple and straightforward) principle in action ;-)
Lancashireman May 4, 2015:
heidi A less fancy term might be 'joint application', also mentioned twice in asker's explanation.
heidi (X) May 4, 2015:
@ Stephan Elkins Looks like you'e answered your own question then: integrative project proposal.
Integrative project proposals are more appropriate for collaborative proposals that address key application areas by advancing multiple scientific and engineering domains...All integrative project proposals require a collaboration plan that outlines the integration and collaboration of all participating senior personnel at all involved sites to accomplish the scope of the research effectively.

Stephan Elkins (asker) May 4, 2015:
More detailed explanation Perhaps I was not precise enough. Sorry about that.
Let's say there a five researchers who are applying for a grant for a joint research project. Each has a different background: a sociologist, an economist, a jurist and so on. They have a common research question that they are pursuing together, which is described in the "Mantelantrag". The contribution of each of these scholars is then broken down into five individual subprojects that all tie into the main project that integrates it all. So they are applying for a joint grant and to do so they are writing a joint "Mantelantrag," which is supplemented by 5 detailed descriptions of specific projects. The "Mantelantrag" is the integrative piece describing the overall project that they are proposing to a funding institution. I hope this makes it clear.
heidi (X) May 4, 2015:
@ Stephan Elkins The 3 answerers so far have understood the "-antrag" part of the source term as application, whereas you have said that the common text of the proposal is referred to as "Mantelantrag". It would help if you please share your insight with us: Which reading of "-antrag" is more appropriate in your context: application or proposal ?

umbrella application

The REACT website, when completed will serve as a central portal designed as a one stop shop where research administrators can access training, obtain information and access applications that support research administration. The web site will be an umbrella application and will obtain data from other grant applications.

If yes, please list other sources:
Not at present – but may later seek funding from other sources to implement specific subprojects. Some of these may arise from a feasibility studies within in this umbrella application.

True! I think the other two references are ok, though.

"The grant is kind of an all-encompassing grant to give us an idea of what our options are,” Begg said.

application for program grant

I don't think this is a 'blanket' grant. In Australia and elsewhere, Program Grants incorporate a number of separate projects:

"The NHMRC's Research Grants Management System (RGMS) must be used to access/update your CV and profile and to submit your Program Grant application ..."
https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/grants.../program-grants

"the Review Committee has noted an encouragingly large number of early stage scientists as PAs in Program Grant teams."
