Development of project outlines in the NUM Hub cooperation portal
The current funding phase of the Network University Medicine (NUM) ends on 30 June 2025. We are therefore now starting to prepare for the planned next funding phase. The procedure for developing project outlines for cooperative research projects in the NUM will start on Monday, 1 July 2024 in the cooperation portal of the NUM Hub.
This website provides you with the latest information on the procedure.

Brief information on the themed rooms
| Topic-space | Title | Short description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Additions to and improvements of current NUM research (data) infrastructures | The NUM currently operates several research (data) infrastructures with a variety of purposes. These are AKTIN@NUM, GenSurv, NUKLEUS, RACOON, NUM-RDP, NUM-DIZ, NATON 2.0. This call deals with the improvement and further development of the NUM infrastructures listed above. These research (data) infrastructures need to be continually improved and expanded in order to best serve the needs of clinical researchers. To this end, the NUM funds additional research projects for infrastructure development outside of the base funding of NUM infrastructures. This serves the purpose to open up participation in infrastructure development projects to the entire NUM community, not only to those who are already operating NUM infrastructures. |
| 2 | Two additional specialist networks for clinical studies, including new clinical and/or clinical-epidemiological studies, beyond infectious diseases | The NUM is in the process of setting up a generic clinical study network as well as a specialist network on infectious diseases. In the new funding period, the latter should be complemented by two more specialist networks. These specialist networks are comprised by clinicians and clinical staff in the respective research fields, who are responsible for drafting and implementing study protocols and recruiting patients within the respective specialist area. |
| 3 | New clinical and clinical-epidemiological studies (incl. platform trial) on infectious diseases | The NUM is in the process of setting up a generic clinical study network and various specialist clinical study networks. This call aims to identify clinical trials, clinical-epidemiological studies or platform trials in the field of infectious diseases to strengthen the NUM clinical study network in general and as part of a rapid response capability to public health crises. |
| 4 | Setting up new registries in the NUM | This call is aimed at identifying new registries that should be established specifically in the NUM (as opposed to other contexts) on NUM (data) infrastructures, to enrich and take advantage of the NUM ecosystem. Any potential registry must directly support patient-oriented and potentially practice-changing research and/or public health (crises) management. |
| 5 | Research project(s) for the autopsy data platform | The infrastructure project NUM National Autopsy Network (NATON) is a Germany-wide network of university hospitals and autopsy centres that serves to gain systematic and standardised data and intelligence about pathogens from autopsies. The aim is to provide comprehensive and joined-up data for research across the NUM network. This call serves the purpose of identifying at least one research project (use case) that uses the autopsy data platform and ideally contributes to improving it further. |
| 6 | Research project(s) for the imaging data platform | The infrastructure project Radiological Cooperative Network (RACOON) , a nationwide imaging data platform, supports the structured real-time collection, evaluation and provision of radiological data. This call aims to identify at least one research project (use case) that uses the imaging data platform and ideally contributes to improving it further. |
