The PHB Translational Award provides up to 50’000 CHF to cover release time from clinical routine (salary reimbursement) of the applicant for a maximum period of 12 months.

Applicants must submit a written application according to the provided template (see link on the right). Please note that applications must already have proof of concept or preliminary data and only projects with a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) between 4 and 6 will be considered for funding.
