Funding of the Heuer Foundation for Medical Research

The funding provided by the Heuer Foundation for Medical Research is aimed nationwide at both domestic and international scientists as well as research institutions engaged in innovative questions in medical research. The focus is particularly on projects within the scope of dissertations, habilitations, and research-related stays abroad. The foundation supports initiatives that make a direct contribution to scientific progress and align with the foundation's mission. The amount of funding is determined individually in each case and is based on the scope and specific requirements of the proposed research project.

Applications can be submitted year-round, eliminating time restrictions and allowing for flexible planning of research activities. A prerequisite for funding is involvement in the field of medical research as well as the scientific quality of the project. Selection is based on the criteria of scientific quality and alignment with the foundation’s purpose to ensure targeted allocation of funds. The Heuer Foundation operates independently and freely in the selection of eligible projects and institutions. Interested research teams and early-career scientists will find a reliable source of funding here to advance their scientific inquiries and realize international collaborations.
