Novo Nordisk Fonden: CHALLENGE – Interactions of Infectious and Cardiometabolic Diseases

Infectious disease (ID) and cardiometabolic disease (CMD) are two major global health challenges that affect millions of people every year. While these are distinct types of disease, there is growing evidence that they interact in complex ways, and that these interactions influence the risk, severity, and prognosis of both types of disease.

The Challenge is to understand the interactions between CMDs and IDs and inform how to best reduce the morbidity and mortality of people and populations exposed to both CMDs and IDs.

Nøgleord

  • Development of Danish research ecosystems
  • Focusing on interactions of Infectious and Cardiometabolic Diseases
  • Supporting excellent research leaders
The Challenge Programme supports excellent research leaders from 2-4 research groups (main applicant plus 1-3 co-applicants). The programme leader must be at least 75% employed at a Danish university, hospital or other non-profit research organization, that will be considered the host institution of the project. The research institutions of the co-applicants can be located in Denmark or abroad. The co-applicants should contribute significantly to the advancement of the project and should receive part of the funding. Industry collaboration is possible; however, funding cannot be awarded to industrial partner(s).
