Deadline: 2 May 2024
The Novo Nordisk Fonden has launched the Inequality in Health Program to support children and young people in vulnerable positions to live a healthier life.
The purpose of this call is to encourage organisations from the health- and social sector in Denmark to develop, test, implement, and evaluate interventions that support children and youth.
Areas of Support
- Applicants can apply for funding for projects that focus on developing, testing, implementing, and/or evaluating initiatives aimed at promoting health among children and youth in vulnerable positions.
- It is recommended that projects are integrated and anchored within existing structures in a sustainable way with consideration of the complexity of health-promoting efforts and social challenges.
- Projects can also be new initiatives; in which case it is important to argue for the viability and the potential for anchoring of the project.
- The target group is defined as 0–18-year-old children and youth (including pregnancy), but the primary target group can also be reached by focusing on e.g., families, professionals, or the structures in which they live.
- The call is relevant for projects both working with somatic and/or mental health issues. Examples of such could be projects improving the activity level, eating habits, health literacy, sleep, or mental well-being of children and youth in vulnerable positions.
Funding Information
- A total of up to DKK 25 million is available for grants between DKK 1 million and DKK 5 million for projects lasting for 1-5 years.
Eligibility Criteria
- During the grant period, the main applicant must be a manager or project manager at a nonprofit or public organisation in Denmark. Projects in Greenland and the Faroe Islands are not eligible to apply for this call. Projects that are created in partnerships across the health sector and the social sector will be prioritised.
- Private companies cannot be the main applicant for support via this call but can be co applicants in projects. However, it is not possible to apply for funding with a commercial aim.
- The application and any additional uploads must be written in Danish or English.
