CSP "Short-term"

Within the framework of the funding line “short-term” of the Clinician Scientist Program, the Faculty of Medicine awards research fellowships for clinically active scientists. The funding line is intended to enable clinically active scientists to take protected research time at short notice. (!!ATTENTION: Changed conditions!!) A maximum of 3 months can be applied for in the form of full-time equivalents. These can be extended if the scope of work is reduced accordingly. The duration can vary between 3 and 6 months, with a scope of work of 20–100%. The research time can be used, for example, to carry out smaller research projects, to learn new methods in an already existing research project, to prepare publications or third party funding proposals in case of outstanding preliminary work.

Key requirements: Applicants must hold a tenured position of at least half-time, have a doctoral degree, and submit a clear research time plan. The program's website provides the statutes (with additional requirements), information on the application process, and the link to the application portal.

The next application deadline is Tuesday, March 2, 2026.
