Deadline: 2 September 2024
The Norwegian Health Association is seeking applications for its Postdoctoral Fellowships within Dementia to fund high-quality research and strengthen the connection between basic and clinical research by building networks between dementia researchers and research groups in Norway.
The Norwegian Health Association is a voluntary, humanitarian organization working with public health, research into cardiovascular diseases and dementia and promoting the interests of people with dementia and their next of kin. The Norwegian Health Association has established a national, comprehensive and coordinated Dementia Research Programme.
Funding Information
- The postdoctoral candidate is offered salary and running costs corresponding to three year’s full position. Annual lump sum is 1 000 000 NOK/year (full position), whereas 100 000 NOK/year is intended for running costs. Running costs may include general costs related to the project (supplies, analyses, laboratory animals, equipment, relevant network building activities, conference fees, project specific services etc.).
- The candidate may apply for funding for the first or second postdoctoral period. If the position at the research institution has a higher total cost frame than the defined lump sum, the project owner institution must bridge the gap.
- The Norwegian Health Association does not offer overhead costs; thus, the project owner institution must cover all institutional costs beyond the granted amount.
- The project must start between January 1st and December 1st 2025. They recognize that in some cases there may be a need for a reduced research position. The project may therefore last for up to 72 months from start date.
What to apply for?
- Through this funding scheme, the Norwegian Health Association offers financing of postdoctoral fellowships related to research projects focusing on causes, prevention, diagnosis and treatment (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) of dementia. Care research is outside the scope of this call.
Who can apply?
- Applicants must be employed at a Norwegian research institution or be guaranteed an employment if the project is granted, to be eligible for funding. Norwegian universities, university colleges, research institutes, hospitals and institutions with research as part of their activities are eligible grantee institutions. The applicant must have defended their thesis within the end of 2024.
