The website planned by the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) for the Innovation Fund, www.innovationsfonds.g-ba.de, is now live. The Innovation Committee intends to use this portal to provide information about its resolutions and matters in the future.

Although the portal's pages are still almost completely empty, and the announcement of the first funding tranche, already announced by Prof. Josef Hecken (G-BA) for the end of December, is delayed, the rules of procedure and procedure of the Innovation Committee at the G-BA, approved by the Federal Ministry of Health, can at least be found here. These rules of procedure regulate:

• the application and funding process,
• the determination and publication of funding announcements,
• Definition of eligible applicants, criteria and procedures for application evaluation, including the working methods of the expert advisory board,
• Determination of eligible costs for new forms of care and health services research and
• the disclosure obligation of the members of the Innovation Committee and the Expert Advisory Board.
