The CareerS Board is responsible for reviewing funding applications across disciplines and developing our Faculty’s funding opportunities for clinician scientists.

The Board includes the team that obtained the current grant for our Clinician Scientist Programme from the German Research Foundation (DFG), as well as a representative of the clinician scientists funded through the programme. The Board also includes the Dean, spokespersons for the Faculty of Medicine’s “Innovative Medical Research” programme and Interdisciplinary Centre for Clinical Research, plus three additional members selected by the Dean’s office as representatives of other scientific focus areas within our faculty.
