ForTra gGmbH für Forschungstransfer der Else Kröner-Fresenius-Stiftung (ForTra), finances strategic advice provided by consulting firms to prepare and conduct orientation and scientific advice meetings with regulatory authorities for the planning and approval of clinical trials (‘pre-IND meetings’).
ForTra is announcing a call for proposals to fund consulting costs for the preparation and support of orientation (´kick-off´) and scientific advice meetings with regulatory authorities for projects for which a clinical trial is planned.
A key challenge on the path from the laboratory to the clinic is the complex regulatory requirements that must be met for clinical trials to be approved. To encourage the use of professional regulatory consulting services for translational projects in the field of drug development or medical technology, ForTra provides up to €100,000 for each project selected by an external panel of experts. The aim is to prepare project managers optimally for an orientation meeting and/or a scientific consultation meeting with the PEI or BfArM and to accompany them to these meetings.
Applications are open to clinical and medical researchers working at a non-profit research institute (e.g. university, university hospital, Max Planck Institute, etc.). The projects should be at an advanced stage of development (preferably with initial preclinical data) and aim to bring a new drug or medical device into clinical trials.
Applications must be submitted by 1st of October, 2025, by email to antrag@fortra-forschungstransfer.de. Information on how to apply can be found below in the download area.
The projects to be funded will be selected by an independent panel of experts. After the applications have been evaluated and recommendations made by the reviewers, ForTra will grant funding by the end of 2025, following consultation with the relevant committees. of the foundation.
