Projects

LongCARE (Platform for integrated Long-COVID Care And REsearch) is a coordination project run by TMF, which oversees 29 projects nationwide and also conducts the overall evaluation of the funding priority.

Since October 1, 2021, TMF has been coordinating a consortium of high-ranking experts for the conceptual development of genomDE – a nationwide platform for medical genome sequencing that will initially focus on rare diseases and oncological diseases. In addition to leading medical networks and professional associations, patient associations with their specific concerns are also involved in the project. The concept is to be implemented as an innovative component of future standard care in Germany. The legally anchored model project for genome sequencing § 64e SGB V serves as proof of concept for this.

Since 2016, TMF has headed the coordination office of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMFTR), which it operates jointly with the Medical Faculty Association (MFT) and the Association of University Hospitals in Germany (VUD). This is where the staff of the supporting structure work and where the committee meetings take place. This enables close integration with the activities of TMF as the umbrella organization for IT infrastructures and research data management in medicine.
