JUNG Stiftung Germany Career Advancement Scholarship

The Jung Career Advancement Award comprises a grant of 210,000 euros to support a research project over a three-year period. The funds are intended for use in accordance with the guidelines of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The funds are disbursed in two equal installments, with the second installment conditional on a positive review of an interim report by the Scientific Advisory Board.

The call is addressed to medical professionals in residence training who have completed at least two years of scientific research (preferably abroad), have a documented record of scientific accomplishment, and who return to Germany to complete their residency training. The work should be carried out at a German academic hospital.

When selecting candidates, the Scientific Advisory Board of the Jung Foundation for Science and Research determines the outcome. Applicants are not required to specify a host institution at the time of the application; the host institution is chosen in consultation with the Foundation after receiving the Jung Career Advancement Award.

Upon taking up the award, the applicant should be relieved of clinical duties for at least one year before resuming additional clinical training, with intermittent protected time for a further 2 years combined. A request for payment of the second half can be made 18 months after the start of the project at the earliest, and 5 years at the latest.
