German term or phrase: Mantelantrag
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!

application for program grant


Explanation:
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."
