Deutsche Leberstiftung is a German medical research foundation focused exclusively on liver disease: advancing science, education, public awareness, and patient care in hepatology. It primarily supports researchers, clinics, and networks working on hepatitis, fatty liver disease, liver cancer, and related registry/health-services infrastructure, often through awards and fellowships rather than broad open grants. A distinctive feature is its strong emphasis on research coordination and collaboration, including study-house support, national registries, and network-building projects that translate research into better care.
Offers annual or project-based competitive awards and stipends, including research release fellowships, doctoral support, and networking grants; also funds collaborative research infrastructure and awards scientific excellence. Giving appears Germany-focused, program-specific, and likely application-based rather than open-ended general operating support.
