Project Grants for Research within Nutrition Related to Cardiometabolic Diseases (CMDs)

Project Grants for Research within Nutrition Related to Cardiometabolic Diseases (CMDs) funds research projects that develop new understandings and support translation and implementation of knowledge within prevention and management of nutrition-related cardiometabolic diseases. Grants are intended to strengthen nutritional sciences in Denmark and support a range of study designs appropriate to the research question. Projects may last up to three years (with an option to extend to four years in specific cases) and may include international co-applicants.

Project funding up to DKK 4 million (DKK 5 million with international co-applicant); project period up to three years (possible extension to four years for PhD stipends).

The main applicant must be based at a Danish university, hospital, or other non-profit research organisation with at least a 50% affiliation and must have guaranteed salary for the project period. Applicants may be experienced independent researchers or researchers in the process of establishing themselves as independent researchers; Master and PhD students are not eligible. Co-applicants, if any, must be employed at a university, hospital, or non-profit research organisation outside Denmark and should contribute significantly to the project. The grant cannot cover the salary of main applicants, co-applicants, or scientific faculty with time-unlimited contracts.

Applicants must follow the application guidelines provided in the programme's application guidelines document and apply through the foundation's grants application channels.
