The Novo Nordisk Foundation awarded official certificates for the 2015 PhD scholarships in clinical nursing to the recipients yesterday.
The certificates were presented during Nursing Day under the theme Career Paths for Nurses – Opportunities and Challenges. A total of 150 people attended the fully booked event in Hellerup. Organized by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, this was the first time Nursing Day was held.
The programme included presentations by four speakers on this year’s theme. The recipients of the scholarships also gave a presentation on their research projects and received their certificates and flowers.
In December 2015, the Foundation awarded three co-funded PhD scholarships of DKK 500,000 each over 3 years and three co-funded postdoctoral fellowships, also of DKK 500,000 each, over 3 years.
The scholarships and fellowships were awarded by the Board of the Foundation based on applications received and evaluated by the Foundation’s Committee on Nursing Research. The Committee received 28 applications for the co-funded PhD scholarships and made three awards: a success rate of 11%. The Committee received applications for the co-funded postdoctoral fellowships and made three awards: a success rate of 43%.
