Stiftung Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ) appears to fund and build large, mission-driven cancer research collaborations rather than issue broad competitive grants. Its priorities center on reducing cancer incidence and mortality through prevention, translational oncology, personalized immunotherapy, and improved treatment for both adult and pediatric cancers. The foundation’s distinctive role is supporting long-term research infrastructure and joint centers with major academic and clinical partners in Germany.
Primarily supports large-scale, long-term institutional collaborations and translational centers, often with university hospitals and research institutes; likely relationship-driven and partnership-based rather than open, small-grant philanthropy.
This looks like a partnership-oriented funder, so unsolicited applications may not be the main path. Prospective collaborators should align proposals tightly to cancer prevention or translational research, demonstrate clinical and academic partnerships, and seek contact through DKFZ’s leadership or center programs rather than expecting a standard public grant portal.
