New DFG research funding for Prof. Tobias Stalder
New DFG research funding for Prof. Tobias Stalder
The project is scheduled to start in fall 2026.
The German Research Foundation (DFG) has awarded Prof. Tobias Stalder research funding of approximately €378,000 for a new project on the methodological optimization of hair cortisol analysis. The project addresses key methodological questions in hair cortisol analysis and aims to further improve the standardization and validity of the method. The expected findings are highly relevant for stress-related biopsychological and clinical research, in which hair cortisol plays an important role as a marker of long-term hormone activity.
