Research Projects for General Medicine

The Foundation for General Medicine supports nonprofit educational institutions and organizations nationwide in innovative research projects in primary care. Funding is particularly provided for projects that have a close connection to primary care, address novel general medical questions, and possess high practical relevance. Project ideas can be submitted at any time, giving pilot studies in early project phases a chance to receive grants. A focus lies on research work in the area of mental health, such as improved detection and treatment of stress disorders, anxiety disorders, or post-traumatic stress in general practice.

Interested researchers, research institutions, and interdisciplinary project teams benefit from transparent evaluation criteria that weigh both the degree of innovation and applicability in everyday care. Submissions to the research program require a clear practical reference, an original topic, and the potential to sustainably optimize general practice workflows. By offering continuously open deadlines, the foundation enables flexible planning, while the grant as financial support advances both feasibility studies and more comprehensive care projects. In this way, the Foundation for General Medicine contributes to strengthening primary care and further developing future-oriented care approaches.
