In July 2009, the Senate of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG of German Research Foundation) announced the establishment of a new Priority Program on “Epigenetic regulation of normal hematopoiesis and its dysregulation in myeloid neoplasia”. In May 2010, an international review panel selected 15 research projects for funding within the project. This program brings basic and clinical research in Germany together and supports highly interactive projects in epigenetic research as well as in the development of novel epigenetic therapies. The program has two co-coordinators, Dr. Michael Lübbert in Freiburg and Dr. Christoph Plass in Heidelberg and includes a coordinating central project which supports internal and international activities between the members of the central project. Here we request funds for continuation of the coordinating Central Project for Priority Program. These funds will support the coordinators of the project with three major tasks: Task 1 will be to coordinate the daily work and communication in the Priority Program. Task 2 will be to provide support to the coordinators in promoting scientific advances from the Program on a national as well as international level. Task 3 is devoted to equal opportunities for female scientists and single parents with children.
