Bristol Myers Squibb-Stiftung Immunonkologie is a Germany-based foundation focused on improving survival and quality of life for people diagnosed with cancer, with a strong emphasis on immuno-oncology. It primarily supports medical research, translational and health services projects, and advanced training for physicians, while also running a direct patient-support initiative for children with cancer. The foundation appears especially interested in practical, patient-impacting work that advances immuno-oncology science and care delivery in Germany.
Provides a mix of competitive research prizes, monthly doctoral stipends, project-based grants, and one invite-only operational initiative. Support is mostly Germany-wide, with relatively modest award sizes for individuals (e.g., €15,000 prize pool; €1,000/month stipends) and selective project funding without fixed public deadlines. The Avatar initiative is non-open and appears to be deployed directly by the foundation in partnership with schools and local support organizations.

Watch the foundation website for the biannual Young Scientists IO call and the annual PassIOn stipend window; the doctoral stipend has a clearly posted application period and start date. For project funding, use the online application form and be prepared to show a direct link to improving cancer patient quality of life or survival, ideally with a translational or health-services angle. Initiative Avatar is invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to work unless you are already in contact with the foundation or a participating partner.
