The Schweizerische Bechterew-Stiftung is a specialized Swiss foundation focused on advancing research and public awareness around Morbus Bechterew (axial spondyloarthritis, axSpA). Its giving is highly targeted: it appears to support scientifically rigorous work in Switzerland, especially clinical and experimental research, through a single named research prize rather than a broad grantmaking program. For nonprofits or researchers, this funder is best understood as a disease-specific medical research supporter with a strong national orientation and an emphasis on recognized, publication-based scholarship.
Single annual research prize of CHF 15,000 (approx. $15,000), awarded for the best scientific work in Switzerland on axSpA; appears to be application-based with a fixed deadline and eligibility tied to recent publication dates.
Plan ahead for the annual submission deadline of 1 February 2027, and ensure the work was published after 1 February 2025. Applications should emphasize scientific quality, Swiss eligibility, and clear relevance to axSpA; because this is a prize format, a strong published paper is likely more important than a program proposal.
