Care-for-Rare Awards

Awarded commitment

The Care-for-Rare Foundation annually offers two science awards on rare diseases in children: the Care-for-Rare Science Award and the Dr. Holger Müller Award. The competitive prizes motivate younger scientists to devote more time to research into rare diseases.

The Care-for-Rare Science Award honors outstanding scientific projects in the field of rare diseases in children. The prize, which is endowed with 50,000 euros, has been awarded annually since 2013 and is presented together with the Bavarian Donor Award at the festive “pro.movere” award ceremony.

The Dr. Holger Müller Prize, endowed with 5,000 euros, honors individual scientists or a group who have published an outstanding scientific contribution on the topic of “rare diseases” in the respective previous year. The prize has been awarded annually since 2011 in cooperation with the Dr. Holger Müller Foundation.
