  • Graph: Third-party Funded Research Projects

    The Charité hospitals and institutes participating in Charité Mental Health (CMH) have been able to achieve a significant increase in third-party funding in recent years and have been increasing continuously since 2012. The peak value in 2019 was 29.3 million €, which was available to the scientists for their research projects. Methods: *Unweighted third-party funding income of the Charité hospitals and institutes participating in Charité Mental Health in the period 2010-2019 in million €. CMH researchers from institutes not belonging to Charité additionally achieved 14.2 million € third-party funding in 2019. Image /
