The collaboration must include specific research groups in at least two Nordic countries and be led by personnel holding professorships or equivalent permanent academic positions.
Applications will be assessed based on their academic quality and the potential of their projects to develop new and groundbreaking knowledge in medicine.
For 2027, the Foundation invites applications for research on age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Projects should use stem cell biology, genetic approaches, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine or other state-of-the-art technologies to prevent disease or to repair, regrow, or replace damaged or diseased cells or tissues.
Research support for each project is restricted to NOK 4 million per year for a maximum of four years. Up to three separate projects will be supported.
Proposals must be sent by email to Special Adviser Bjørnar Vold-Sarnes (bjornar.vold-sarnes@admin.uio.no)
