An overview of the projects funded from the funding line “Else Kröner Schools for Medical Scientists” can be found here.

For the improvement of medical research it is necessary that natural scientists and fundamental research scientists work on medical issues as well (Medical Scientists). Although this is already the case in many areas, the research often has a theoretical orientation or lacks a deeper understanding of medical prerequisites, clinical consequences and the conditions behind medical action taken.

Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung wants to support medical faculties and university hospitals in Germany within the framework of scientific graduate study programs, to improve the establishment of young, highly talented natural scientists in the medical sector, and to optimize their research in the sense of the targeted objective, meaning better treatment for patients.

To achieve this, the Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung is issuing a call for proposals toward establishing up to three Medical Scientist graduate study program endowed with a total of EUR 1.1 million each for a term of four years. The programs can be situated in either the doctoral or post-doctoral phase.

Specific, patient-oriented research projects are supposed to be worked on and developed further in the course of this graduate study program, accompanied by an interprofessional advanced training program.

Please always take note of our current calls for applications/proposals for this line of funding. You can find them in the menu “Current Topics” under Call for Proposals.
