Research Commission
With the establishment of the BONFOR program, the Medical Faculty of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn has created a valuable instrument for targeted in-house research funding. Both clinically applied and practice-oriented research as well as medical basic research are funded on equal terms. The decisive factor for funding is the scientific quality of the applications within the framework of the BONFOR funding criteria.
The BONFOR SciMed Commission decides on the BONFOR-funded doctoral scholarships, funding applications for all other instruments are dealt with in the meetings of the BONFOR Research Commission.
BONFOR-Research Commission
The BONFOR Research Commission establishes the guidelines for the funding instruments. In its meetings, it decides on the use of the funds made available and gives funding recommendations on the basis of expert opinions and according to application reviews.
Members of the BONFOR Research Commission
The Dean of the Medical Faculty, a group elected by the Dean's Office consisting of professors, scientific staff and student representatives working full-time at the Medical Faculty, as well as a chairperson and a deputy chairperson elected from this group.
The university professors in the commission should have many years of experience in the management of scientific working groups, in the acquisition of third-party funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) or comparable organizations, and in research assessment. The scientific staff members of the commission are expected to show above-average commitment to research. When appointing members to the committees, it is ensured that the aspects of clinical-applied research and basic sciences are adequately represented.
