The purpose of this call is to support talented and established scientists to further develop their careers through support of research that may result in a better fundamental understanding of the brain and/or improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous-system diseases.
The Lundbeck Foundation’s ambition is to make Denmark leading in neuroscience research by funding relevant biomedical, health, clinical and other sciences in Denmark. The goal is to foster world-class research at Danish universities and Danish university hospitals. At the same time, our grants must help provide a research environment that stimulates the best graduates and scientists at all career levels.
In keeping with the purpose of the Lundbeck Foundation, through our support to neuroscience research we seek to “bring discoveries to lives”. Therefore, we value projects that present a clear plan for how the anticipated project outcomes can lead to impact on neuroscience and/or human health.
The Lundbeck Foundation believes that diversity strengthens science. For this reason, diversity, including, but not limited to, work experience (e.g. from industry and biotech sector), cultural background, or educational background, is encouraged. We especially encourage scientists from groups that have been traditionally under-represented in academia, including women and scientists of diverse ethnic backgrounds, to apply.
We also encourage applicants to include international exchange in their proposed project, as international collaboration is one of the best ways to elevate the Danish research environment and strengthen the career path of the researchers involved.
We expect you to be an experienced and independent researcher with a demonstrated ability to conduct original research at a high international level, either as a permanent/tenured or tenure-track staff member at a university, or in an equivalent position at a university hospital, in Denmark. In addition, researchers in temporary positions are eligible if, at the application deadline, the applicant’s salary is guaranteed by the host institution for the duration of the project. This guarantee should be included in the letter of support from the host institution.
Researchers holding an existing Ascending Investigator grant are eligible to apply if this grant runs out during 2025, as long as they still comply with the other eligibility criteria. Researchers can maximum have two consecutive Investigator grants.
Any Danish or foreign-based researcher can be a co-applicant and/or collaborator in the proposed project
