The German Research Foundation also plans to extend its network of clinical research facilities

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, the German Research Foundation) is to establish eight new research units, two clinical research units and two centres for advanced studies in the Humanities.

The new units will work across disciplines and sites, with the clinical research units bringing together clinical, applied and basic research fields. The areas to be studied by the new research units range from malignant bone diseases, to the testing of new models for water research, and new synthesis technology for use in materials science.

Over the next three years these eight new research units – which bring the total number of DFG-funded units to 190 - will receive funding of approximately €19.2 million. The total funding for the two new clinical research units over the next four years will be €5.1 million. Overall, the DFG currently funds 32 Clinical Research Units.
