The Novo Nordisk Foundation and the Lundbeck Foundation have a shared interest in supporting research that deepens our understanding of the interactions between the brain and periphery in health and disease
The interdisciplinary research could be related to, but is not limited to, the following research themes:
Physiological modulators, Bi-directional signalling pathways, Nervous system (neuro)circuits, Biological barriers, Health and disease mechanisms.
Strong projects will be of a collaborative nature, bridging different research disciplines (e.g. neuroscience, metabolism, endocrinology, physiology, neurology, psychiatry, medicine, epidemiology, immunology, nutrition), with a unifying aim of improving mechanistic understanding of body-brain interactions in health and/or disease while addressing specific knowledge gaps.
We invite researchers from different fields, i.e. neuroscientific and cardiometabolic research, to take equal responsibility and contribute significantly to the scientific advancement of the project.
Researcher’s expertise can represent any part of the value chain, e.g. basic to clinical research, provided that the associated research question(s), if answered, will improve the mechanistic understanding of body-brain interactions.
Proposals may be between 2-3 applicants. At least one of the applicants must be anchored at a Danish host institution and at least one of the applicants must be anchored at a European (non-Danish) host institution. It is not acceptable to be an applicant on more than one application. Inclusion of collaborators is strongly encouraged, but it is only acceptable to be involved as a collaborator (6) on up to 2 applications.
To ensure that the research adds significant value to existing research environments, the applicants must be at the level of an independent researcher.
