About Karl und Veronica Carstens-Stiftung

Karl und Veronica Carstens-Stiftung is a German foundation focused on advancing scientific research in naturopathy, complementary medicine, and integrative medicine, with an emphasis on bringing these approaches into mainstream evidence-based healthcare. It tends to fund academic medical institutions, clinician-scientists, and multicenter research platforms that study chronic disease prevention, oncology, pediatrics, nutrition, multiple sclerosis, and nature-based interventions. The foundation also places strong value on building the field itself through professorships, habilitations, and protected research time for physicians.

Giving Approach

Primarily issues large, multi-year, program-specific grants and fellowships in Germany, often through thematic calls with defined deadlines. Typical awards range from substantial project support to major platform or professorship packages, and some programs are geared toward academic career development for physicians and researchers. The foundation appears to use a structured application process rather than open-ended general grants.
