Neuroförbundet Research Grant

Neuroförbundet offers research grants for studies focusing on neurological disorders through the Neurofonden foundation. The grants support scientific research into causes and treatments of organic neurological diseases, with priority given to clinical research and practical applications addressing functional disability needs. The foundation primarily supports younger researchers conducting clinically adapted, patient-centered research that directly benefits members. Both small and large projects receive funding, with millions distributed annually. Basic research may be supported when aligned with the foundation's field of operation. The application period opens August 15 and closes September 30 each year, with decisions made in early December by Neurofonden's board based on recommendations from Neuroförbundet's advisory research committee.

LF Ascending Investigator

The LF Ascending Investigator grant supports talented and established scientists to further develop their careers through support of research that may result in a better fundamental understanding of the brain and/or improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous-system diseases. The program aims to make Denmark leading in neuroscience research by funding relevant biomedical, health, clinical and other sciences at Danish universities and university hospitals. The grant supports frontline basic, translational or clinical research with potential impact on neuroscience, including basic understanding of the brain and prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain and nervous-system diseases. Applicants must be experienced and independent researchers with a demonstrated ability to conduct original research at a high international level, either as a permanent/tenured or tenure-track staff member at a university, or in an equivalent position at a university hospital in Denmark. The program particularly encourages diversity and international collaboration, offering additional funding for substantial international collaboration involving exchange of scientific personnel.
