• 2019--> Food4HealthyLife: Food4HealthyLife is a calculator to estimate impact of food patterns on health outcomes and will suggest impact of various types of food changes giving instant feedback on impact of diet related choices (www.food4healthylife.org) in collaboration with Bergen Centre for Ethics and Priority Setting (BCEPS). The Food4HealthyLife has received funding from DAM of approximately NOK 3 million excluding senior researchers’ salaries.
• 2019--> Coordinating the multi-centre study ATLAS4OAT study (assessment and treatment of lung disease among patient receiving opioid agonist therapy). This includes three trials (BAReNikotin, FruktBAR, and BAReAktiv). The study is financed by the Helse Vest RHF with funding of approxiimately NOK 19 million (the Western Norway Regional Health Authority).

• 2016 --> Coordinating the multi-centre study “Integrated treatment of hepatitis C virus infection among patients with injecting drug abuse: a randomised controlled trial (INTRO-HCV)”. The trial compares the effect of integrated hepatitis C (HCV) treatment between the opioid substitution treatment polyclinics in Bergen and Stavanger (intervention arm) with standard treatment provided after referral to infectious disease clinics among patients who receive opioid substitution treatment having HCV.
