Funding Schemes

The majority of the Lundbeck Foundation's grants support concrete scientific projects with budgets of up to DKK 5 million. Applications within biomedicine are awarded three times a year, while applications within the natural sciences are awarded once a year.

Project applications for under DKK 5 million can be submitted in either Danish or English. In exceptional cases it is possible to apply for up to DKK 10 million, however, detailed justification for this must be stated in the application, which must be written in English.

The Foundation advertises special funding opportunities such as Fellowships at the website and in relevant professional publications.

All applications are handled in full confidentiality.

Applications can only be submitted via the Foundation's electronic application system. Detailed instructions for this system should be read prior to applying and can be found here: Electronic Application System

Support from the Foundation for the post graduate education of nurses, midwives and therapeutic assistants and research candidates by these groups are applied for and awarded via the Danish University Hospitals' Centre for Nursing and Healthcare Research: www.ucsf.dk
