About Stiftung Oskar-Helene-Heim

Stiftung Oskar-Helene-Heim funds medical science and research, with a clear emphasis on orthopaedics, trauma surgery, pulmonary medicine, abdominal disease, and orthopaedic/clinical medical technology. It also supports research stipends and equipment-linked projects, including work in Germany and selected international settings such as Botswana and South Africa. In addition to research, the foundation recognizes outstanding voluntary medical-social service through its Helene Medal.

Giving Approach

Mix of annual prize awards, invite-only recognition grants, and project/stipend funding for medical research. The Oskar-Medizinpreis is a fixed €50,000 annual award with a formal postal application deadline, while the Helene-Medaille is invite-only at €10,000. Research support appears to be selective and project-based, often tied to specific studies, equipment use, or dissertation funding.

How to approach this funder

For the Oskar-Medizinpreis, submit a complete postal application by 30 May 2026 including a CV and a concise dossier (max. 5 pages) focused on orthopaedics/trauma surgery for the 2026 cycle. Research funding and stipends appear to be more selective and may be based on direct project relevance and institutional connections, so applicants should align closely with the foundation’s medical themes and review the website for current instructions. The Helene-Medaille is invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to be considered.
