EFSD / Novo Nordisk Foundation Future Leaders Award Programme

Novo Nordisk Foundation

The European Foundation for the Study of Diabetes (EFSD) was created by the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) to provide funding initiatives in all areas of diabetes research. The aims of EFSD are to encourage and support research in the field of diabetes, to rapidly diffuse acquired knowledge and to facilitate its application.

About the Novo Nordisk Foundation

The Novo Nordisk Foundation is an independent Danish foundation with corporate interests. The Foundation has two objectives: 1) to provide a stable basis for the commercial and research activities of the companies in the Novo Group; and 2) to support scientific, humanitarian and social causes. The vision of the Novo Nordisk Foundation is to improve people’s health and the sustainability of society and the planet.

Rationale and Intended Purpose

Young investigators face a major challenge in the transition from postdoctoral/clinical fellow to their first tenured faculty position. It is hard to gain significant and truly independent funding at this career stage, yet such support is critical to advance up the academic ladder, especially in Europe. Action is needed now to avoid a generation gap that would severely compromise future European excellence in diabetes research.

The EFSD/Novo Nordisk Foundation Future Leaders Award Programme is intended to

Identify outstanding clinical and basic scientists in European diabetes research at a critical stage in their career
Support them in their transition to a tenured academic appointment in diabetes research in Europe
Foster their development into the leaders of tomorrow.

Candidates

Candidates for an EFSD/Novo Nordisk Foundation Future Leaders Award will already have a track record of excellence and achievement in their chosen area of diabetes research. They must demonstrate through their published work (with clear indication of the role of the applicant), previous competitive (national and international) funding, membership of editorial boards, teaching and extra-curricular activities and any other relevant information that they have the aim and potential to become part of the next generation of leaders in European diabetes research.

Applicants must be scientists and clinicians at an intermediate stage of their career, with 7-12 years of experience since completion of their most recent degree (PhD or MD), and a scientific track record demonstrating continued research activity before the start of the EFSD/Novo Nordisk Foundation Future Leaders Award Programme. The time since the last degree may not exceed 12 years before 1 January in the year the programme is awarded.

Eligibility can be extended for reasons such as maternity, paternity, illness, national service, clinical training, natural disasters, or asylum, if clearly described (further documentation may be requested at the discretion of EFSD).

Applicants must work in a university or hospital, or another non-profit research institution in any country in the European region or its associated countries throughout the tenure of the Grant, and should provide clear evidence of their intention to pursue an academic career in Europe (for detailed country list, please see here).
