Research support at the Faculty of Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine invests in research by offering comprehensive support services in all phases of research projects.

Application support

Our research advisers identify relevant funding opportunities and match them to researchers’ academic profile and career stage. We send out a Funding newsletter every quarter.

During the application phase, each application is supported by a project economist who prepares the budget, with support offered from a research adviser. 

Research advisers assist with the application work through consortium building, quality assurance of formal and content requirements, text editing and more. 

Researchers applying for Horizon Europe funding can also receive funds for buy-out of time, consortium meetings or external consultancy.
