UCCH Research Fellowship
At this point, we would also like to mention the UCCH Research Fellowship, which allows junior physicians (usually in their second to fifth year of clinical training) to be released from their clinical duties for one year to conduct a cancer-related research project in the laboratory. For further information, please contact Dr. Natascha Kömm (
n.koemm@uke.de ). The deadline for UCCH Research Fellowships 2025 will be announced here in early 2024. Participation in the UCCH Retreat on July 12/13, 2024 in Reinstorf is mandatory in case of application.
CONNECT Grants 2025
To strengthen the joint collaboration with the University Cancer Center Schleswig-Holstein (UCCSH) and the networking of early career researchers, the CONNECT (Cooperative NORD-Networking for Early Career Teams) grant for early career teams from both locations is being announced for the third time. This initiative is supported by the medical faculties of the University of Lübeck and the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel as well as the Mildred-Scheel-Nachwuchszentrum (MSNZ) Hamburg, which is funded by German Cancer Aid.
Find an appropriate partner (Medical or Clinician Scientist) from the respective other location (HH-Kiel or HH-Lübeck) and send us your joint project idea until the application deadline which will be announced here soon. The project idea should ideally be located in one of the research focus areas of UCCH (to be found under " Research ") and UCCSH . Epidemiological projects and projects in health services research are eligible to apply as well as molecular biology-translational projects. The maximum funding per project is € 50,000 (distributed between both sites). The project duration is from January to December 2025. Funding of your own position is excluded.
Detailed information on the call and the application process will be available for download on this website soon.
We already look forward to receiving your applications! If you need help with the application or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
