The Phospholipid Research Center wants to extend the knowledge of the improvement of bioavailability and tolerance of actives in oral, topical, pulmonary and parenteral systems. It announces research funds for these investigations. Scientists from home and abroad are encouraged to submit research proposals covering these questions to apply for the funds for non-commercial uses. Individual researchers and research groups are encouraged to submit research proposals (2-4 pages) written in English in triplicate. The proposals should contain the specifications of costs and list all other funds. Individual projects will be funded partially or completely. The amount and duration of the financial aid depends on the scale of the problem to be addressed. In addition to the investigation of new aspects, a state-of the-art review should be created as well. The Phospholipid Research Center requests for half-yearly progress reports available to the membership. The results will be published with mention of the Phospholipid Research Center. The international Scientific Board of the Phospholipid Research Center will decide about the award of research grants.
