The Government of the Czech Republic approved an amendment to the Program for the Support of Applied Health Research for the years 2020 - 2026. The program was extended by a public tender for projects addressing the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic on health care in the Czech Republic.
A public tender for research projects addressing the impacts of the covid-19 pandemic on health care in the Czech Republic will be announced during October 2021. Supported projects will be a maximum of two years and the total financial allocation for this public tender is expected to amount to CZK 150 million.
Nine projects from the Faculty of Medicine were successful in this year's call for proposals from the Czech Science Foundation. Of the 40 applications submitted, almost a quarter received funding, which is the faculty's best result in recent years.
In the 2026 call of the Czech Health Research Council (AZV), 17 projects involving researchers from our faculty were successful. A total of CZK 140 million will be directed towards health research in the coming years. Nearly half of the supported projects are led by researchers in the junior stage of their careers.
