Lundbeck Foundation Fellows Programme (Denmark)

With these grants, they aim to support some of tomorrow’s most important contributors to research breakthroughs, significantly impacting research and society.

Themes

• The proposed research must be within the fields of biomedical, clinical or health science, or must facilitate research within these fields.

Funding Information

• The Lundbeck Foundation is allocating up to DKK 70 million to this call.
• Grants are DKK 10 million each and cover five years.
• The budget may include all staff and non-staff costs related to the project, including your own salary.
• Up to 10% of the budget can be reserved for indirect costs if appropriately justified.
• If you are moving to Denmark from abroad, you can apply for DKK 100,000 as a lump sum to cover your relocation costs.
• To qualify for this, it is a prerequisite that you do not live in Denmark at the time of application and you over the past 3 years have not lived in Denmark for more than 3 months.
• The DKK 100,000 lump sum must be clearly stated in the budget.

Eligible Projects

• Your project proposes frontline clinical, translational or basic research within the fields of biomedical, clinical or health science, or facilitates research within these fields.
• The Lundbeck Foundation does not fund drug trials conducted, either wholly or partially, in collaboration with commercial enterprises.
• Consequently, the Foundation only funds investigator-initiated trials conducted independently of industry. Furthermore, the Foundation does not fund research projects aimed at directly supporting commercial entities (drugs or enterprises) or have commercial implications for specific commercial enterprises.

Who can apply?

• Lundbeck Foundation fellowships are granted to outstanding and promising young researchers who are establishing or expanding their own research groups at non-commercial Danish research institutions. This applies to Danish-based researchers, to researchers from abroad who wish to move to Denmark and continue their research here and to researchers already employed at Danish universities and university hospitals.
• Applicants must:
  • Have obtained their PhD no more than eight years ago.
  • Work within the fields of biomedical, clinical and health science, or related fields with a clear biomedical angle to the project.
• Applicants may not:
  • Already hold, or receive within the same year as this grant is awarded, a major Danish or international starting grant similar to a Lundbeck Foundation Fellowship.
