Description

To promote Danish fundamental research at the highest international level the Novo Nordisk Foundation seeks to support outstanding professors with ambitious projects relevant to understanding the human organism and/or basal mechanisms underlying health and disease.The Distinguished Investigator grant is for outstanding professors who have demonstrated the ability to execute and lead research at the highest international level. Key is that the project is novel, excellent, has a potential high impact and is of a character that justifies a five-year grant of this magnitude.The fundamental research should be bioscientific and/or basic biomedical and the project relevant for understanding the human organism and/or basal mechanisms underlying health and disease. The research fields could be within, but are not limited to: molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, modelling of biological systems, enzymology, genetics, microbiology, plant biology, animal models, pharmacology, experimental physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, biology, and biostatistics etc. The research will typically be carried out in animals, model systems, cellular or subcellular systems, or in silico. Eligibility Applicants must be professors (MSO included). The Distinguished Investigator grant is for professors of all ages. The project must be anchored at a university, hospital or other non-profit research institution in Denmark and during the project, applicants must be primarily employed, and have their primary research group, in Denmark.
