About Christiane Herzog Stiftung

Christiane Herzog Stiftung is a German health-focused foundation dedicated to helping people living with Mukoviszidose (cystic fibrosis) through better therapy, research, and social support. Its funding is especially centered on advancing CF science and backing early-career researchers, while also working closely with patient organizations, specialist centers, and support groups. The foundation’s work is distinctive for combining medical research support with practical, patient-centered assistance for families affected by CF.

Giving Approach

Primarily awards a single annual research prize/grant of 50,000 € for outstanding CF research, with proposals reviewed by a scientific advisory board. Giving appears to be program-specific and likely competitive rather than open-ended, with strong preference for projects tied to Germany or German CF care networks.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the annual call for the Christiane Herzog Forschungsförderpreis and prepare a strong CF-focused research proposal with clear relevance to Germany or German CF care. Emphasize novelty, scientific quality, and suitability for a junior investigator, and expect review by the foundation’s scientific advisory board rather than an open rolling application process.
