title: [Promoting research from the viewpoint of the German Research Society].
abstract: The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) serves all fields of sciences and the arts by financing research projects. The DFG can support science by funding of individual grants, priority programmes, research groups and collaborative research centers. With these mechanisms of funding, clinical research is also supported. Some structural aspects of clinical research and a few thoughts for the improvement of clinical research are presented.
