Description
These project grants are designed to promote high-level, fundamental research in bioscience and basic biomedicine in Denmark. The aim is to enhance understanding of the human organism and the basic mechanisms underlying health and disease. Supported research areas include molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, genetics, microbiology, pharmacology, experimental physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, and related fields. Projects often utilize animal, cellular, subcellular, or computational model systems. A strategic focus is placed on microbiota–host interactions, with dedicated funding for projects in this theme.
