Project Funding by the Walter Schulz Foundation

The project funding of the Walter Schulz Foundation is aimed at universities and public research institutions throughout Germany that conduct clinical studies on the development and treatment of cancer. Under the leadership of the Scientific Advisory Board, innovative initiatives in the fields of research & innovation, science, health, as well as labor & social affairs are supported. The focus is on projects that directly address patient-centered questions and provide new insights into tumorigenesis. Studies based solely on cell lines or animal experiments are not eligible for funding. With open submission opportunities without time limits, the starting signal for groundbreaking research can be set flexibly without being bound to fixed deadlines.

The foundation’s goal is to financially secure research projects and facilitate their implementation. The funding amount is granted as a subsidy and is intended to help provide resources for laboratory analyses, personnel, or necessary infrastructure. In this way, the Walter Schulz Foundation makes a decisive contribution to giving new impetus to cancer research at the scientific level. Research teams engaged in tumor research and collecting patient-centered data find a reliable partner here. Through the continuous awarding of grants, the foundation promotes interdisciplinary exchange as well as the sustainable development of therapeutic concepts and diagnostic procedures in the fight against cancer.
