Internal Funding
Young academics are our assets for the future. Therefore we support their research initiatives in manifold ways.
Funding Programs by Target Group
Students of human medicine can receive a stipend for preparing their experimental doctoral thesis project.
Young postgraduate scientists can receive funding from the Medical Faculty for their first research project.
Rotation positions for your physicians who want to go into research for some time.
The Hertha-Nathorff Program combines the funding programs for women at the Medical Faculty, in particular research and rotation positions, technical support in the lab during pregnancy and lactation, as well as child care and summer child care programs.
In the Equal Opportunities Portal of Ulm University, additional internal and external fuding programs for women can be found. In addition to those mentioned under the heading Hertha-Nathorff-Program, there are programs to financially support young researchers with children, a habilitation program for women en route to their first professorship and non-monetary offers like counselling, mentoring and workshops.
Research on teaching methods in medicine is funded through an award, research projects, reimbursement of publication fees, travel reimbursement and workshops.
