Description
The Open Discovery Innovation Network (ODIN) – CNS Disorders grant, funded by the Lundbeck Foundation, supports collaborative research projects between academic researchers and industry partners focused on central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The program aims to address unmet medical needs by funding translational projects with clear real-world impact potential. ODIN also encourages proposals on disease-agnostic platform technologies and research tools relevant to global health.
Projects must be co-created by academic and industry partners, with funding provided for the academic component only. The initiative is open to researchers at the associate or full professor level at Danish partner universities, fostering interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral innovation in CNS research.
