Aim

Steno Collaborative Project Grants aim to:

• Strengthen clinical, patient-centred and collaborative research between the Steno Diabetes Centers and the research environments connected to the Centers.
• Position Denmark at an international level in improving prevention and care for persons with diabetes or at risk of diabetes.

Eligibility

The research project must be collaborative with a unifying vision and focus on solving a challenge within the area of clinical diabetes research.

The research project must comprise a main applicant and two to five co-applicants.
