Deadline: 3 June 2025
The Independent Research Fund Denmark is requesting applications for its Research on Vulnerability and Poor well-being aimed at solving specific problems in real situations and that involves collaboration between researchers and practice to develop knowledge that is both theoretically founded and practically applicable.
The grant would support research, including practice-oriented research, on vulnerability amongst children and youth as well as the well-being/poor well-being of children and youth. The research can, amongst other things, contribute to increased knowledge on the causes for poor well-being amongst children and youth, including a focus on, e.g., safer digital environments for children and youth as well as the positive and negative consequences and effects that digital media has on the communities of children and youth.
The funds must support capacity building in the research environments and coordination of research as well as contribute to increased knowledge on causal relationships, the interplay with pedagogical-psychological counselling.
DFF emphasises that applications for this theme can be practice-oriented projects, i.e. research aimed at solving specific problems in real situations and that involves collaboration between researchers and practice to develop knowledge that is both theoretically founded and practically applicable. Practice-oriented research can be conducted using different methods pertaining to the local and specific practice that the research concerns.
