As a research network, the German Center for Child and Adolescent Health combines the specialist expertise of university hospitals and universities at seven partner sites: Berlin, Göttingen, Greifswald/Rostock, Hamburg, Leipzig/Dresden, Munich and Ulm. Experts from various fields of research work together here on a cross-thematic basis. In addition to the university hospitals and universities, non-university research institutions such as Max Planck Institutes, Fraunhofer Institutes, Helmholtz and Leibniz Centres are also involved. The two-year start-up phase is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of 30 million euros. This will be followed by long-term institutional funding. By fostering strong networks and expanding existing research structures, the DZKJ establishes ideal conditions for interdisciplinary research excellence and the swift application of findings in practice, aiming to promote the long-term healthy development of children and adolescents. In the two-year start-up phase, the focus is particularly on the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as well as on prevention, taking into account the different developmental stages of adolescents.
