Project Funding of the Berlin Foundation for Dermatology

The Berlin Foundation for Dermatology supports educational institutions, private individuals, and non-profit organizations nationwide with project-related grants to promote continuing education and research in the field of dermatovenereology. The aim of this initiative is a noticeable improvement in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases through the pooling of financial and organizational resources. A particular focus is placed on measures that contribute to strengthening dermatological care in emerging African countries, as well as on awarding scientific prizes and scholarships to early-career researchers and young medical professionals. Innovative international collaborations and scientific exchange are equally emphasized, along with the long-term integration of new findings into clinical practice.

Projects with a duration of three to twelve months are funded, provided they include a clear project description, a detailed financing plan, and a meaningful curriculum vitae of the applicants. Applications can be submitted at any time, as long as the funds are used specifically for dermatovenereological issues. The foundation continuously reviews all applications and provides flexible grants to realize promising research projects, continuing education measures, and international exchange programs. This funding pillar offers ideal conditions for scientists and specialists who wish to implement innovative approaches to optimize skin health and sustainably anchor their projects.
