For the third time, the Hans and Ilse Breuer Foundation is offering young researchers (doctoral or post-doctoral students) a special prize for outstanding publications in the research area of dementia.

The non-profit organization based in Frankfurt am Main is, on the one hand, committed to helping those affected with its own dementia center “StattHaus Offenbach” and, on the other hand, promotes basic scientific research and healthcare services research on dementia. Since 2006, the foundation has been awarding the Alzheimer's Research Prize worth 100,000 euros, which has so far honored 24 winners. Also since 2006, the foundation has awarded 36 scholarships to young scientists. Since 2020, an annual publication prize has also been offered to mark the foundation's 20th anniversary.

In the renewed call for proposals, the prize for the best publication is endowed with 5,000 euros for the winner's private use. The second place winner receives 4,000 euros, the third place winner receives 3,000 euros, the fourth place winner receives 2,000 euros and the fifth place winner receives 1,000 euros.

Scientists who work in a research team at one of the ten locations of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) can apply. Original works in the form of essays (papers) whose online or print publication date can be proven to be between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 will be considered. The winner is selected by a jury of international scientists who do not belong to the DZNE, who draw up a list of the five best candidates from all of the submitted publications.

The application publication must be submitted as a PDF and with a declaration of consent to data protection (sample on the website https://www.breuerstiftung.de/projekte/forschungsfoerderung) to [email protected] by June 30, 2023. If authorship is shared, a declaration of consent from the non-submitting author must be enclosed.
