Research Project Funding (Christina Barz Foundation)

The Christina Barz Foundation supports smaller research projects, scientific conferences, and medical studies nationwide in the field of eating disorders, particularly focusing on the early detection and progression of bulimic-anorectic behaviors. Educational institutions and private individuals with the appropriate scientific qualifications may submit applications at any time. The continuous call for proposals allows for flexible planning and implementation of promising approaches. Funded projects are those that demonstrate high scientific quality and direct relevance to eating disorder research. Grants are aimed at topics such as research & innovation, science, health, as well as labor & social affairs, contributing to the advancement of urgently needed foundational work.

The funding objective is to support projects that deepen the understanding of anorexia and bulimia, thereby optimizing clinical diagnostics and therapy. Applicants submit a written project description along with a comprehensible justification of the research endeavor via the Foundation’s contact form. Evaluation criteria include the scientific quality of the project and its immediate relevance to eating disorder research. The Christina Barz Foundation regards every submission as a valuable basis for future breakthroughs and offers researchers the opportunity to continuously advance their work—from the initial concept through conferences to extensive medical studies.
