Research and Project Funding

Various funding agencies in Germany offer a range of funding programmes for projects and research ideas related to the participation of people with disabilities and chronic illnesses.

Funding programmes can differ according to criteria such as type and scope of funding, duration and addressees of funding, funding topics and funding priorities, and scope (local, regional, national, transnational).

Some institutions provide regular and nationwide funding for research and projects on various focal points from rehab and participation or also offer joint funding focal points in this regard, while other funding bodies provide regionally limited or non-regular, temporary funding for individual topics related to people with disabilities or have programmes on topics such as education and qualification or digitisation in which people with disabilities are one of several target groups.

Below we have listed some german institutions that provide research and project funding.
