Data Set-Generation in Core Facilities

Generation of Data sets in Core Facilities

Generate data sets such as omics and high-throughput imaging data sets as part of a project expansion as a basis for soliciting extramural externally funded projects.

For who?

All young scientists working at institutions of the Medical Faculty with an independent scientific concept and ongoing third-party funding (DFG e.g. Emmy Noether, Else Kröner-Fresenius, BMBF, ERC, Krebshilfe, BONFOR, others on request).

Requirements

Required Qualification

  • Young researchers with a doctorate but not yet habilitated

Award Criteria

  • The underlying research question must be scientifically well founded (hypothesis-driven in a broader sense), and preliminary data must demonstrate that the investigation is promising.
  • The concept for statistical analysis and interpretation of the data sets is a crucial part of the evaluation.
  • A bioinformatics power analysis must be provided that demonstrates that the targeted data set is likely to be statistically appropriate by size and quality to verify or refute the hypothesis.
  • A convincing case must be made as to how this data set can serve as the basis for soliciting an extramural externally funded project.
  • If established Core Facilities at the Faculty provide the needed service, they are to be utilized.
  • If the planned research cannot be adequately provided by any of the Core Facilities of the Medical Faculty in terms of scope, quality, or reasonable time frame, appropriate confirmation must be provided by the head of the Core Facility concerned.
