At the INTF the concise scholarly edition saw further revisions and publications, until it became the trademark of the institute under the name of "Nestle-Aland" – Novum Testamentum Graece.

Under the supervision of Kurt Aland the INTF first of all collected almost the entire material (partly on extensive manuscript travels), followed by analyses in single editions and specific studies in preparation of the Editio Critia Maior.

In 1964 the latter established the Hermann Kunst Foundation for the Promotion of New Testament Textual Research which has granted crucial financial support to the Institute ever since.

Under her supervision, the analysis of the material that had been started under Kurt Aland continued and was made accessible for research in numerous publications.

In the following year the project was established at Münster University as Novum Testamentum Graecum – Editio Critica Maior.
