Funding of External Projects (Integrative Oncology) – Perspektiven Foundation

The funding of external projects in the field of integrative oncology by the Perspectives Foundation is aimed nationwide at research institutions, non-profit organizations, companies, as well as individuals with a scientific background in the area of integrative oncology. Supported are practice-oriented and evidence-based initiatives that can be realized within a clearly defined temporal and financial framework and adhere to ethical principles. The foundation’s activities include consulting on topic selection and the integration of complementary therapies, nutrition, and exercise, networking with experts and partner institutions, as well as, in selected cases, direct financial grants. Ongoing submission of applications allows for flexible planning and contributes to the timely implementation of research and practice projects.

The goal of the funding is to improve patient-centered care in integrative oncology—particularly through in-depth investigation of complementary measures, optimized nutritional concepts, exercise programs, and effective communication between patients and medical staff. Project ideas are evaluated based on their scientific foundation, ethical orientation, and feasibility within the intended framework. Doctoral candidates, scientific staff, and interdisciplinary research teams may apply for a grant at any time and benefit from individual support by the foundation. The continuous funding opportunity invites the development of innovative concepts for holistic cancer care and their sustainable integration into research and practice.
