DZHK’s German Centre for Cardiovascular Research in Lübeck awards six fellowships to medical students in advanced doctorate semesters. This programme guarantees add-on funding to support such students, who have been a part of the workgroup for at least a year, or have been actively participating at the DZHK institute in Lübeck as a PI (principal investigator), and who wish to continue working on their project for at least another half year. The aim is to ensure that these students, who have demonstrated solid scientific commitment and whose work could benefit greatly from another half year of practical aspects, can satisfactorily finish their work. The programme is also open to medical students studying for a doctorate, who wish to commence a new research project at DZHK.
