Project Funding / Grants from the Brandau-Laibach Foundation

The Brandau-Laibach Foundation specifically supports scientific investigations into aging and demential diseases in North Rhine-Westphalia. As a grant program, the funding is exclusively directed at clinics and institutes of the Medical Faculty of the University of Cologne as well as the University Hospital Cologne and their affiliated institutes. The focus lies on research & innovation, science, health, as well as labor & social affairs. The foundation aids in exploring new examination methods and procedures to subsequently implement them in the participating institutions. Through regular calls for proposals, financial resources are provided to advance research projects that promise sustainable benefits for the study of Alzheimer’s and related diseases.

With the aim of promoting scientific exchange and enhancing the quality of clinical diagnostics, the funding enables the involved institutions to test innovative approaches for early detection and therapy. The support encompasses both classical laboratory and imaging procedures as well as interdisciplinary studies that integrate the latest findings from neuroscience and gerontology. Although the call for proposals for the funding period 2025/26 has already closed, future funding calls are published regularly. Educational institutions from the specified region can prepare for upcoming deadlines and inform themselves about updated funding guidelines.
