Call for proposals Do I(I)T


  • Dear Professor
    Dear Professor
    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    At its meeting on 11.07.2023, the IZKF Management Board decided to set up a new programme called Do I(I)T.

    Based on the recommendation of the Scientific Advisory Board that the IZKF should participate in an appropriate manner in promoting the initiation of clinical trials, the IZKF Management Board held a joint discussion with selected study-running institutions and clinics and the Centre for Clinical Studies (CCS). It was agreed that the preparation of test plans and study protocols as well as ethics applications is very labour-intensive and could be effectively supported by the provision of flexibly deployable rotational positions.

    The IZKF therefore calls for full-time rotation positions for up to 3 months Ä1/ Ä2, which can be applied for in preparation of IITs (focus on drawing up the protocol/obtaining an ethics vote). As a rule, they can be divided into up to 6 months, or up to 9 months on justified application.

    Applications can be submitted via the new IZKF application tool up to 2 weeks before the respective Management Board meeting. Applications may be submitted by advanced physicians in further training and specialists of all disciplines without age limit.

    The applicant must fulfil the following requirements:

     

    Personal requirements (1)

    • Completed GCP course
    • Publications and experience with clinical trials or correspondingly designated mentor in clinic available

     

    Requirements of the institution (2)

    • Study structure at the clinic (study centre, study nurses)
    • Sufficiently large patient population available

     

    Application documents to be submitted

    • Proposal (please use the proposal template)
    • Research profile of the applicant with list of publications
    • Certificate(s) GCP course

     

    The application will be assessed on the basis of clinical relevance, originality and innovation of the study idea as well as the prospects for external funding of the study (indicate potential sponsors, own assessment of the prospects of success).

     

    The application deadlines in 2025 are:

    • 21.01.2025
    • 30.09.2025

     

    We look forward to receiving numerous applications.

    Kind regards

    Prof Dr M. Wegner
    Chairman of the IZKF
