Innovation Funding

Due to the start-up financing of highly innovative projects and clinical studies it is possible for NeuroCure to react flexibly and quickly to new trends within the neurosciences. The granting of funds is carried out efficiently and transparently on the basis of award procedures that have been worked out according to high quality standards.

The following funding programs are available to members of NeuroCure:

Flexible Funds:
Selected clinical projects of NeuroCure Principal Investigators are funded. This start-up funding is directed primarily towards “proof-of-concept studies”, which subject findings from fundamental science to clinical testing for the first time and each of which lasts for two years. The submitted applications are evaluated in a competitive two-level internal evaluation procedure.

Innovation Project:
Innovative risk projects are financed in the form of current project ideas but also of follow-up projects connected to measures that are already funded. The support relates to personnel and material costs as well as investments.

In addition to the two support programs there is also the possibility of applying for equipment.
