The Faculty Clinical Research Platform (FCRP) fosters careers of young clinical researchers at the Vetsuisse Faculty of the University of Bern. To this end the FCRP launches competitive research funding calls for clinical research in the framework of PhD studies, habilitations, assistant lectureships and assistant professorships. Supported projects are intended to exploit synergies between clinical and non-clinical disciplines. The FCRP also provides guidance in career development and coordinates the availability of laboratory facilities and techniques for clinical researchers at the faculty. The overarching goal is to assist in the development of the next generations of academics in veterinary clinical sciences.
