National Funding Measures
The German Federal Government sees biotechnology as a focal point of its research policy. The aim of the “Biotechnology Framework Programme - Using and Shaping its Opportunities” is to secure the level of proficiency of the life sciences in Germany and to tap innovation potential.
A summary of the individual key areas of support can be found on the homepage of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research under “Biotechnologie” [Biotechnology]“ (http://www.bmbf.de/de/1024.php) or at the project sponsor Jülich GmbH under “Rahmenprogramm Biotechnologie” [Framework Programme Biotechnology] (http://www.fz-juelich.de/ptj/rahmenprogramm-biotechnologie/).
Current calls for proposals relating to support programmes and support guidelines of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research can be found under “Bekanntmachungen” [Calls for proposals] (http://www.bmbf.de/foerderungen/677.php).
BioM fosters close interaction with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and within the scope of the BioChancePLUS funding programme, for example, not only advises applicants, but also coordinates the appraisal process for the Greater Munich Area.
