Description

This initiative supports ambitious, collaborative projects that advance mechanistic understanding of the interactions between the brain and body, particularly in the context of cardiometabolic diseases and nervous system disorders. The program is a joint effort of the Novo Nordisk Foundation and Lundbeck Foundation, designed to bridge neuroscience and cardiometabolic research by integrating multiple disciplines such as metabolism, endocrinology, physiology, neurology, psychiatry, medicine, epidemiology, immunology, and nutrition. The goal is to fill critical knowledge gaps and enable novel discoveries that improve diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and overall understanding of these interconnected health issues. Projects must be interdisciplinary, with aims unattainable by a single discipline, and demonstrate strong collaborative synergy.
