Health Research Framework Programme

Supports health systems innovation in Germany through a federal framework spanning personalised care research, digital health development, and collaborative clinical translation.

The Health Research Framework Programme is Germany’s long-term federal framework for health research, designed to adapt as priorities shift in medicine and public health. It includes people-centred research with personalized treatment logic, digital and data-driven prevention and diagnostics, and patient participation in setting research relevance. The programme also supports the German medical technology sector and interactive digital health solutions outside medical-device definitions. Geographically, it is Germany-focused and serves universities, research organizations, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations. Its profile is strongest for teams with translational health agendas that can convert findings toward clinical or healthcare-system impact, including collaborative One Health work.
