In 2011, the Central Institute for Statutory Health Care in Germany (ZI) is funding research projects in the field of statutory health care - call for expressions of interest by June 10, 2011

The Central Institute for Statutory Health Insurance in Germany (ZI) supports research projects in the field of statutory health care. For 2011, applications will be accepted from the following four subject areas:
• Impact of medical progress on the division of labor between inpatient and outpatient care
• Impact of medical advances on the use of medical services and on the quality of care in an aging population
• Necessary prerequisites for assuming responsibility for indication-related prescription quality in statutory health care
• Effects of selective contract competition on the quality of care as well as on care expenditure and administrative costs

The ZI is accepting project outlines for selected subject areas until June 10, 2011. The topics are related to statutory health care and are described in more detail in the call for expressions of interest. Incoming project outlines are reviewed by an external scientific advisory board. The ZI board then decides on the allocation of funding. A total of €250,000 is available to support research work in 2011.
The call for expressions of interest as well as a template for formulating project outlines can be accessed on the ZI homepage under the following link:
