The selection of project proposals will be carried out by peer review. We recommend that you check with your host institute that you are eligible for this funding instrument before you start writing a proposal. Selection procedure Prior to the review process, the eligibility to supervise and recruit PhD students for both team members and the availability of resources to accommodate the PhD student will be verified by the host institutions. In addition, the BIH Biomedical Academy will organize a range of optional training activities that are open to all. This also applies to students enrolled in affiliated schools. Recruited students will be expected to attend five to six mandatory BIH core training activities in each of their first two years. April, 2015 BIH Translational PhD Project Grants Call/BIH Biomedical Academy /13Ģ Offered BIH training activities may include but are not restricted to: Fundamentals in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics Statistics/Bioinformatics/Working with Large Data Sets Clinical Workshops in Systems Medicine Clinical Visits/Trials, Epidemiology Quality Assurance Aspects in Research etc. Training will be set up flexibly to address the specific pedagogic needs of each training unit. If proposed, the offered teaching contribution from the supervisor teams should contain at least a training lecture but can also include a journal club, a clinical visit, a (methods) workshop, etc.

This can either be a novel teaching concept offered to the BIH Biomedical Academy or it can utilise an existing graduate level training offer at MDC or Charité that is opened up to BIH graduate students at MSc and/or PhD level. The inclusion of a BIH relevant teaching contribution by the supervisor team within the PhD project proposal is strongly recommended 1. Training A teaching contribution from the team of supervisors to BIH core training activities may be requested in the first and the second years of the PhD project (minimum of 2 hrs.

Students are required to join an affiliated graduate or research school and/or sign a supervision agreement with the supervisor team. The recruitment of students to accepted project proposals must be open, transparent and competitive. Project proposals are selected for funding by a peer review process. Typical teams consist of a basic and a clinical researcher but basic/basic and clinical/clinical teams are not excluded, as long as the potential translational benefit of the proposal is convincing to the reviewers. Here, a team of two supervisors, one from MDC and one from Charité respectively, conceive a joint project incorporating aspects of translational research and systems medicine 1. The minimal requirements for project proposals include the concept of twinning.

The funding covers 3 years salary for a PhD student and an annual project allowance of BIH translational PhD grants fund newly designed translational projects for students starting a new PhD project rather than bridging funding gaps in current projects. The BIH Biomedical Academy will award annually up to 10 PhD project grants to support cross disciplinary research and training. These include the funding of PhD students from different fields that work at the interface of basic and clinical research.
