Lundbeck Foundation: Ascending Investigator (Brain and Nervous-system Diseases)

The purpose of this call is to support 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.

Research theme

With this call, we invite applicants to submit proposals from any research field with a high potential for impact on our basic understanding of the brain as well as prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of brain disorders. Advancements in neuroscience often develop from cross-disciplinary interaction, leading to novel insights into biological mechanisms, trial design, emerging technologies, etc.
The term ‘neuroscience’ is used here in its broadest sense, including medical, technical, natural and social sciences as well as humanities.

* Any Danish or foreign-based researcher can be a co-applicant and/or collaborator in the proposed project.

How much?

The Lundbeck Foundation expects to allocate DKK 70 million to this call. You can apply for up to DKK 6 million (+1 million if international exchange is involved, see below) for a period of exactly four years.

If substantial international collaboration involving exchange of scientific personnel is planned as part of the project, the applicant may add DKK 1 million to the total budget above the DKK 6 million budget cap (i.e. up to DKK 7 million in total).
