Bayer Foundation: Carl Duisberg Fellowships for Medical Sciences

The Carl Duisberg fellowship offers individual support to students in the disciplines of human or veterinary medicine or for an MSc or PhD (or equivalent) in medical engineering, applied medical sciences, public health, or data science in medicine. It funds students from Germany who wish to carry out research stays, internships or part of a degree course abroad as well as international students who plan to study, research or do an internship in Germany. Candidates show a strong sense of commitment and motivation and submit an innovative international research proposal, which will be funded individually. The Foundation encourages projects that are interdisciplinary and collaborative, focusing on health in developing nations, treatment of rare or orphan diseases, development of cell and gene therapies, and the goals of the Sustainable Development Agenda defined by the United Nations. The funding cannot be used to undertake internships in commercial organisations or industry.
