Who Should Apply
- •Researchers based at a Danish university, hospital, or non-profit research organisation with ≥50% affiliation

Key Dates
- •Up to 3-year project duration, extendable to 4 years to cover PhD stipends
Tips for Applicants
- ✓Budget around salary restrictions, neither the main applicant's nor co-applicant's salary is fundable, so plan costs for staff, PhD stipends, and consumables instead.
- ✓Adding an eligible international co-applicant raises the budget cap from DKK 4M to 5M, factor this into consortium planning if cross-border expertise strengthens the project.
- ✓Industry partners can collaborate on the project but their involvement cannot be funded through the grant, so structure any industry input as in-kind contribution.
