Quality of Medicines Award announced

The Frankfurt Foundation Quality of Medicines (FFQM) and the German Pharmaceutical Society (DPhG) jointly award the the Quality of Medicines prize 2022 for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of optimizing and ensuring the quality of drugs. We would like to support fundamental investigations into the quality of drugs on the market as well as innovative concepts to improve them.

The call for applications is aimed at scientists from universities, pharmaceutical companies and other government or private research and quality control institutions. The works submitted with reference to this call for proposals may already have been published or submitted for publication, whereby only publications from the years 2020 to 2022 will be considered. In addition, reports on experimental investigations can also be submitted in the form of meaningful summaries.

The DPhG President and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the FFQM decide on the award based on a recommendation from the Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board. The award is associated with prize money of €2,000 and will be presented at the DPhG annual conference in 2022.

The award winner will be invited to give a short presentation on the award-winning work at the conference. Applications can be submitted electronically to the Frankfurt Foundation Quality of Medicines (info@frankfurt-foundation.org) until July 15, 2022. The informal application, which should contain a brief justification for the application, should include a curriculum vitae, the scientific work itself as a PDF file and a list of publications.
