Description

The Novo Nordisk Foundation’s Project Grants in Clinical and Translational Medicine promote Danish clinical or translational research of high international quality. Supported research involves patients or humans, clinical practice, diagnostic or therapeutic methods, and may also involve established animal models. Areas include disease mechanisms, treatment methods, disease trajectories, epidemiology, diagnostics, public health, family medicine, intervention studies, register-based research, proof-of-concept studies, pilot projects, initial clinical trials, and implementation of clinical solutions.

The programme supports innovative medical research with clear relevance to patients and human health, alongside the Foundation’s ambition to reduce health inequity in Denmark and globally. A strategic theme focuses on interactions between infectious and cardiometabolic diseases, including their dual burden and effects on disease risk, severity, and prognosis.
