The Einstein Award for Promoting Quality in Research in cooperation with the QUEST Center for Responsible Research at the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité honors researchers, institutions, and early career researchers around the globe whose work helps to fundamentally advance the quality, transparency, and reproducibility of science and research.
The award is presented in three categories:
- The Individual Award honors individual researchers or small teams of collaborating researchers.
- The Institutional Award recognizes organizations and research institutions.
- The Early Career Award highlights innovative project proposals by researchers at the beginning of their careers. To qualify as an ECR, candidates must hold a doctorate or have equivalent research experience and should not have been working as an independent researcher for more than five years.
