Excellence Emerging Investigator Grant within Endocrinology and Metabolism – Nordic Region

The Novo Nordisk Foundation Excellence Emerging Investigator Grant within Endocrinology and Metabolism aims to support and strengthen the development of young and promising research leaders, and to promote Nordic research at a high international level. The call is targeted at starting group leaders with ambitious projects within endocrinology and metabolism that aim to understand the human organism and the mechanisms underlying health and disease at both basic and clinical levels. The overall goal is to obtain new knowledge and better treatment or prevention of disease relevant to the human organism within the areas of endocrinology and metabolism, relating to cellular energy homeostasis, and hormonal disorders of the endocrine system. Areas supported include research involving patients and clinical practice but could also include animal models, model organisms, cellular or sub-cellular systems with clear whole body relevance, as well as in silico analysis. Research projects within all subfields of endocrinology, including thyroid, reproduction, or bone and calcium metabolism can be supported. Up to four grants are available with at least one grant aimed at active clinician researchers.
