Project Databases
German Research Foundation (DFG) Gepris Database
The GEPRIS database provides bilingual (German / English) information on funding measures of the German Research Foundation, as well as scientific projects, participating researchers and their institutions.
Federal Funding (BMFTR) Funding Catalog
The funding catalog is a publicly available database with more than 110,000 completed and ongoing federally-funded projects. It provides information to research opportunities and selected statistics.
Innovation Fund (German: Innovationsfonds) for Health Services Research of the Federal Joint Committee
The Innovation Committee (Innovationsausschuss) was set up by the Federal Joint Committee (German: Gemeinsamer Bundesausschuss) to ensure a high standard of medical care for all patients and to further develop the range of care on offer. As part of the “Innovation Fund for Health Services Research”, it has been funding projects since 2016 that go beyond existing standard of care as well as healthcare research projects that are aimed at gaining knowledge to improve existing care in statutory health insurance.
The Network of University Medicine (NUM)
The fundamental idea behind NUM is to promote cooperation between clinical researchers in situations where joint action and a coordinated approach can bring about synergies, efficiency or other advantages. In the future, the NUM will expand its scope to other diseases and involve as many partners as possible from medicine, healthcare and society.
