Description
The Lundbeck Foundation Experiment (LF Experiment) grant is designed to support extraordinary, high-risk research ideas in neuroscience that have the potential to transform understanding or practice within the field. The program specifically seeks proposals that challenge prevailing norms, introduce innovative approaches, and may pave the way for new research fields, methods, or technologies relevant to neuroscience or the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of nervous system disorders. The evaluation process is strictly anonymized and focuses on the originality and transformative potential of the idea, rather than the applicant’s previous scientific track record. Interdisciplinary and early-phase projects are encouraged, and diversity among applicants is valued.
