Description
1) Objective
Established in the 1970s by Helmut Horten, the Foundation aims at supporting the health care system through financial contributions to medical research facilities, hospitals, and other health care institutions, as well as to individuals who are in need of medical care. Eligible for funding are measures intended to protect and maintain people’s health. Today, the Foundation provides funding to the following two main programs: (1) the Horten Centre for Patient-Oriented Research and Knowledge Transfer: this service enables general practitioners to apply the latest medical knowledge in their practices as well as work on patient-oriented research with a focus on the quality of diagnostics; and (2) the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB): the institute’s work is upon advancing biomedical research with scientists focusing on the mechanisms of host defence against bacteria, viruses, tumours and neuro-degenerative diseases.
They offer two grant types:
- Young Investor Grants: accelerate the careers of talented young group leaders to develop their independent research within the medical sciences
- Consortium Projects for Clinical Translation: Create the desired impact of sustainably improving quality of life and life expectancy for patients by investing in multidisciplinary teams who can best generate scientific innovation and translate this into clinical, practice-changing outcomes.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are: (1) medical research centres; (2) hospitals; (3) health care institutions; and (4) individual researchers.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Switzerland and other countries provided they meet the Foundation’s requirements.
4) Budget
Funding ranges from CHF400,000 – CHF1,000,000.
5) Application
Applicants must submit a project outline (one-sided, one A4 page max.) providing the following information: project purpose, approach, project staff, timing, desired contribution, the principal applicant’s CV and a list of publications. Applications should be sent via email. After a first but not binding examination, the Foundation will contact successful applicants and send a formal research request form. All applications meeting the Foundation’s requirements are evaluated by the scientific advisory board which then submits them to the Board of Directors for a final decision. Applications have to be submitted to the Foundation’s secretarial office by March or April respectively.
