Call for applications: Herbert Stiller Research Grant

The NGO Doctors Against Animal Experiments (DAAE; Ärzte gegen Tierversuche e.V.) announces a call for applications for this year’s Herbert Stiller Research Prize (HSP) to support animal-free research. The HSP is awarded for excellent innovative research focusing on the investigation and therapy of human diseases. Supported projects should significantly contribute to medical progress by employing animal-free, human-based approaches such as in vitro studies or clinical and epidemiological investigations into the causes of the diseases of civilization.

The HSP research grant, named after one of DAAE’s co-founders, Dr. Herbert Stiller (1923-1984), specialist in neurology, psychiatry and psychotherapy, was awarded a total of 7 times in the 1990s and 2000s. Earmarked sponsorship funds made a new grant possible in 2019. Since then, the HSP grant is issued in two-year intervals and will be awarded again in 2025.

Researchers from Germany and other German-speaking countries, who have not received the Herbert Stiller Research Grant in the last 4 years, are invited to submit their applications in German or English. Application details and eligibility criteria are given at www.herbert-stiller-preis.de.

Deadline: May 31st, 2025
