ACCENT
Advanced Clinician Scientist Program Bonn
The Medical Faculty of the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn are receiving funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to establish an "Advanced Clinician Scientist" (ACS) programme.
Thematically, the programme will be located between the two profile areas "Immunopathogenesis and Organ Dysfunction" and "Brain and Neurodegeneration". Thus, it is aimed in particular at scientifically active physicians with a focus on immunology, neurosciences, genetics and epidemiology as well as cardiovascular diseases and oncology.
The funding is intended to provide the physicians with a protected release of 50% of their working time for research activities over a period of six years. In addition to their clinical work, they will be closely linked to research networks already established in Bonn, such as Collaborative Research Centres and the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation², through co-affiliations with research institutes. This is to ensure a close link between clinical and basic research in the sense of scientific translation. During the funding period, they receive basic material resources. Furthermore, they are offered an extensive accompanying programme with mentoring and coaching options.
