Joint project PuG
The joint project "Development of part-time degree programmes in nursing and health sciences (PuG)" is a large-scale project funded by the BMBF as part of the competition "Advancement through education: open universities" for the academisation of health professions. Four universities and the C3L (Centre for Lifelong Learning at the University of Oldenburg) are cooperating in research and teaching as part of the project. The aim is to develop part-time, continuing education Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes in the field of health and nursing sciences. The Master's degree programme "Health Management in Rehabilitation (GeRn)" is being developed by Dr Carmen Feldhaus and Prof. Gisela C. Schulze.
Phase I (August 2014 to January 2018; funding volume 4.5 million euros)
Phase II (February 2018 to July 2020; funding volume 3.5 million euros)
Head of the joint project: Prof. Gisela C. Schulze & Prof. Olaf Zawacki-Richter
Research assistants: Andrea D. Klausen and Stefan Westerholt

Hearing impairments
Outcome research in audiology (Grundmann doctoral project)
In Germany, there are no standardised guidelines on how the success of a cochlear implant fitting should be measured during and/or after rehabilitation. A large number of instruments already exist that measure the various dimensions of quality of life (physical, psychological, social and functional) in different ways.
As part of the scientific study, selected of the most respected questionnaires will be analysed and compared with regard to their ability to measure changes.
To this end, data will be collected and analysed in a longitudinal study at four measurement points (preoperatively, as well as three, six and nine months after implantation). The focus here is on people with a bimodal restoration, as they represent the largest group.
The results form a basis for initial recommendations regarding the application of the questionnaires used. The project is intended to initiate further research in this area.
Hearing clearing centre
The "Hearing" clearing centre is a permanent project at the CvO University of Oldenburg and offers all members of the university as well as future students and their environment a wide range of advice, information, networking and research services on the topic of "Hearing and understanding in teaching-learning environments". The project is supported and funded by the Presidential Board and the Asta.

Resilience study of the "Stroke" research network
A person's resilience can influence how well he or she recovers from the consequences of a stroke. In a multidisciplinary, multimodal study, the resilience of stroke patients is being investigated and analysed in relation to different characteristics, such as gender or age. Ausgehend von den Ergebnissen wird folgend untersucht, wie die Resilienz von Schlaganfallpatientin zukünftig gezielt gefördert werden kann, um möglichst gute Rehabilitationsoutcomes zu erlangen.

Neuro Network Weser-Ems
Aftercare and participation for people with brain damage and neurological impairment
The network was initiated in September 2015 by Prof. Dr Andreas Zieger, Prof. Dr Gisela C. Schulze and Dr Jana Alber. Its aim is to improve the aftercare and participation of people with brain damage and neurological impairment. Regular network meetings are held in which interested experts from inpatient and outpatient care, affected persons, relatives and scientists (including Dr Carmen Feldhaus) take part. The foundation of an association is currently being prepared and is planned for autumn 2017.
