Research awards and research funding

This is how we promote health research at our SRH University of Health!

In higher education, research achievements are important indicators of scientific success. Our guiding principle "Health needs smart minds" therefore also plays an important role in the exciting field of our health research, and so we award a research prize once a year, which is intended to serve as an incentive to continue achieving excellent research performance in the future.

Our award winners

Our research funding

We also support health research at our university of health with our start-up financing of pilot and feasibility studies for employees as well as publication-worthy final theses of our students at all locations.

In doing so, we pursue the goal of sustainably supporting the research landscape of the SRH University of Health and serving the scientific profile building.

The decision on the funding amount is based on the feasibility of the subsequent publication and/or third-party funding, and in particular on the relation to the research focus of the respective study program as well as the university as a whole (see research mission statement).

Notes on the application

An application for research funding can be submitted by employees of the university as well as by students in cooperation with employees of the university.

Here we have compiled valuable tips on how to apply: from how to use the funds to how to apply.
