Program Description:

The Lundbeck Foundation hereby invites applications for two advanced neuroscience grants which will be awarded to excellent researchers with documented experience as independent leaders of high-quality neuroscience research groups at universities or university hospitals.

The grants will be awarded for 5 years, and each individual grant amounts to 3 million Euro.

The grants will be awarded to two internationally, highly recognized principal investigators, who will further develop a strong research program within the area of neuroscience, including clinical neuroscience and psychiatry. The grants may well attract Danish or foreign researchers from abroad who wish to move to Denmark and continue their research here. Applicants should have an agreement of association or employment with a Danish university or university hospital to be hosted there for the grant period.
