The Novo Nordisk Foundation’s Postdoc Fellowships in Nursing Research support sustained postdoctoral research in Denmark. Overseen by the Committee on Nursing Research, the programme aims to make Danish nursing research-based and develop the profession to the highest possible quality for the benefit of nursing practice and patient care. It offers researchers an opportunity to pursue a career in nursing research.
All areas of nursing research are supported, with special attention to transitional care and nursing in the primary healthcare sector. Projects must represent three years of full-time postdoctoral work. Fellows may combine research with clinical work through a part-time arrangement, provided they devote at least half their working time to the project and extend its duration accordingly.
