Call for researchers: As part of the National Decade Against Cancer, the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is funding projects focused on gender-sensitive cancer research. The aim is to take better account of gender-specific differences in oncological research and to gain new scientific insights for diagnosis, treatment and care.

Eligible applicants include state and state-recognised universities, non-university research institutions and commercial enterprises.

The deadline for submissions is 30 June 2026.

Further information and the full call for proposals can be found on the BMFTR website for health research and at the DLR Project Management Agency: Richtlinie zur Förderung von Projekten zum Thema „Geschlechtersensible Krebsforschung“– Nationale Dekade gegen Krebs – Gesundheitsforschung BMFTR
