AI Based Application Success Predictor

🎯 1. Clear Patient Relevance & Scientific Quality

Projects must aim to benefit people living with diabetes—e.g., reducing foot ulcers or amputations—and demonstrate strong scientific rigor .

Use of solid methodologies and adding new knowledge are essential for pilot, external project, or travel applications .

🎓 2. Appropriate Career Stage & Qualifications

For research grants (e.g., Olga & Minius Øieren memorial fund), the principal investigator must hold a PhD and be employed at ≥20% throughout the project .

Student travel and early-career funding are available, but eligibility criteria and scope vary by scheme .

🤝 3. User Involvement & Institutional Support

Applications should include user involvement—such as patients in planning or implementation phases—or justify why it's not relevant

Must be submitted through an institution; include CV and descriptions of the research environment or group 

📄 4. Well-Structured Application & Budgeting

Most projects require a concise project plan with timeline, budget, CVs, and publication lists, following formatting rules (e.g., ≤4 pages for project descriptions) .

Travel stipends need proof of event/conference and research relevance .

🕰️ 5. Timing & Review Process

Deadlines are firm—e.g., December 1 for memorial fund, February for general fund .

Pause occurred in 2023 due to budget constraints; normal funding resumed in 2024–25, so checking the current status and cycles is crucial .

Applications are reviewed by a committee consisting of a medical advisory board and selected professionals .

🏆 6. Recognition via Research Award

Diabetesforbundets forskningspris (100 kNOK) honors outstanding scientific contributions related to patient impact. Nominations require publication track record and user relevance.
