Application

Applications may be submitted at any time. Please use the "online application" and state in which of the participating hospitals you would like to implement your project. After submitting your application the coordination office in Stuttgart will inform you about the further application process.

The coordination office will pass your application to your preferred hospital. If you are shortlisted, you will be invited for a personal interview at this hospital. The visit will also serve as an opportunity to finalize the research project on which you will be working at the hospital of your choice. Grant applications may only be submitted to the Robert Bosch Stiftung by both the applicant and the institution in which he intends to work.

The foundation meets to consider grant applications once a year.
