LF Experiment

The purpose of this grant instrument is to support extraordinary and bold research ideas that challenge the norms and prevailing ideas within its field of research. The Lundbeck Foundation is seeking unique, high-risk ideas which have great potential to transform our understanding of an important neuroscience field if successful. The evaluation procedure is based on the idea itself, not on previous scientific merits. This call invites applicants to submit proposals with potential benefit for the advancement of neuroscience and/or prevention, diagnosis or treatment of nervous system disorders. Projects should propose ground-breaking ideas in their early phase, which hold the potential to fundamentally change a neuroscience field, offer transformative understanding of a research topic, pave the way for a new research field, or create a new method or technology. The Foundation believes that diversity strengthens science and especially encourages scientists from groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in academia, including women and scientists of diverse ethnic backgrounds, to apply.
