Deadline: 17-Aug-20
With this open call for applications, the Novo Nordisk Foundation supports initiatives that aim to mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic in humanitarian and development settings with a focus on people living in poverty, and vulnerable and marginalised populations.
Areas of Support
- This open call for applications is thematically unrestricted and can cover interventions in areas such as education, health, livelihoods, protection etc. and applicants are encouraged to submit applications for projects that are within their area of expertise.
- Geographically, the call is limited to the OECD DAC List of ODA Recipients (2020). For the categories Lower Middle Income Countries and Territories and Upper Middle Income Countries and Territories, the applicant should describe in detail how the action will benefit a particularly vulnerable population e.g. refugees, internally displaced people, marginalised indigenous people or similar.
- Applications can cover all areas of humanitarian and development interventions.
Funding Information
- Each application can request funding up to DKK 1 million for a project with a maximum duration of 1 year.
- The project can be an independent, delimited project or part of a larger project that receives support from other sources.
- If the applicant has applied for or been awarded funding from other sources for the project, the applicant must always state this in the budget.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organisations and institutions with a registration in Denmark, specifically documented with a Danish CVR number, may apply for grants in this open call for applications.
- The Novo Nordisk Foundation will only accept applications from internationally recognised and highly transparent organisations and institutions whose annual reports and annual audited financial reports are publicly available.
- The Foundation also expects applicant organisations and institutions to have implemented a code of conduct or similar policies by which they are guided and with which they comply in accordance with ethical and humanitarian guidelines and standards, e.g. the Core Humanitarian Standard on Quality and Accountability (CHS).
- Applications must be submitted in English.
