1) Only "corresponding authors" are eligible for funding. "Corresponding author" is the person the publisher is in contact with concerning the article and who is named as such in the publication itself. Co-authors, first authors or last authors are not eligible for funding unless they are also corresponding authors. The "corresponding author" principle is used internationally to determine which institution covers the charges in case an article is written by authors of different institutional backgrounds. It facilitates fair distribution of costs.

2) University affiliates are defined in UG 2002 §94. Please note that "Research Fellows" and other "Fremdpersonal" are no University affiliates according to UG 2002 and are therefore not eligible for funding. Should you be a research grant holder please provide confirmation to that effect via e-mail.
