The Claudia von Schilling Foundation for Breast Cancer Research Germany is a specialized medical research funder focused almost entirely on breast cancer (mammary carcinoma) and related therapeutic advances. It supports scientifically grounded projects ranging from novel treatment approaches and nanotechnology to palliative care, reconstruction using patient-derived tissue, and the dissemination of breast cancer research findings. Its grantees are typically university hospitals, oncology centers, and research institutes in Germany and Switzerland, with some international collaborations such as Harvard Medical School.
Competitive project grants for scientific research and therapeutic development; likely medium-sized research awards, awarded through announced calls or unsolicited proposals rather than a fixed public deadline, with emphasis on academic and clinical research partners in Germany and neighboring countries.
