[ Novo Nordisk Foundation | Research funding in data science ]

The Danish Foundation Novo Nordisk has launched a new call for its “Data Science Collaborative Research Programme”. The proposed research must fall within the scope of the NNF Data Science Initiative, which aims to support the following key science areas:
 

• Development of new algorithms, methods, and technologies within data science, artificial intelligence (incl. machine learning and deep learning), data engineering, data mining, statistics, applied math, computer science, big data analytics, etc.
• Applications of data science (as defined above) within NNF’s scientific focus areas: Biomedical and health science, life science and industrial applications promoting sustainability, as well as natural and technical sciences with potential application in biotechnology or biomedicine.

• The consortium can involve up to 6 applicants.
• The main applicant must be at least 50% affiliated to a Danish university, hospital or other non-profit organization, and must hold a teaching or training programme there.
• Co-applicants can be based anywhere in the world.
• Consortia from within data science or across disciplines (like medicine, biology, biotechnology, physics, chemistry, etc.) are both eligible.
• The collaboration need not to be a new one, and the primary focus is scientific excellence and synergy in the collaboration.
• Industrial partners are NOT eligible.
