The Novo Nordisk Foundation is inviting applications for the Hallas-Møller Emerging Investigator: Bioscience and Basic Biomedicine.
Purpose
- With the overall aim of catalysing Danish fundamental research impacting better health through knowledge, the purpose of the ‘Hallas-Møller Emerging Investigator – Bioscience and Basic Biomedicine’ grant is to support highly promising starting group leaders with novel and ambitious projects that will bring new and important insight into life and health.
Areas of Support
The fundamental research should be within bioscience and/or basic biomedicine and the project relevant for understanding the human organism and/or basal mechanisms underlying health and disease. The research fields include (but are not limited to): molecular biology, cell biology, bioinformatics, modelling of biological systems, enzymology, genetics, microbiology, pharmacology, experimental physiology, biophysics, biochemistry, biology, and biostatistics etc. The research will typically be carried out in animals, model systems, cellular or subcellular systems, or in silico.
- The Novo Nordisk Foundation offer mutually exclusive calls within the areas listed. It is the responsibility of the applicant to apply within the call most appropriate:
- Endocrinology and metabolism
- Clinical and translational medicine (for clinicians)
- Industrial and environmental biotechnology
- Plant science, agriculture and food biotechnology
- Natural and technical sciences (NERD and RECRUIT).
Funding Information
- A total of up to DKK 40 million is available for up to four 5-year grants, each of up to DKK 10 million with approximately DKK 2 million per year. Annual budget amounts can diverge from DKK 2 million per year if needed (e.g., due to equipment costs).

Importantly they should be starting independent researchers, either senior postdocs who have matured to the point of starting their own research group or junior group leaders in the early phase of establishing their own research group.
- Applicants should have a maximum of 2-3 years of group leader experience at the time of the project start.
- Applicants are expected to have first-authored peer-reviewed research papers with a high impact.
- Applicants must, during the project, be employed and have their research group in Denmark, and the project must be anchored at a university, hospital, or other non-profit research institution in Denmark.
Ineligible
- This grant cannot cover overhead.
- The Novo Nordisk Foundation does not allow double funding of projects.
