The Danish Diabetes Academy (DDA) supports new industrial PhD and industrial postdoc projects
The DDA has just awarded four co-funding industrial PhD scholarships and one co-funding industrial postdoc fellowships to four private companies for projects within diabetes. See the list of grant recipients.
In November 2019, the DDA will call for new applications from private companies receiving a grant from the Innovation Fund Denmark in connection with their call for the Industrial Researcher Programme with deadline 24 September 2019 (https://innovationsfonden.dk/en/programmes/industrial-researcher).
The DDA calls for application will open on 25 November 2019 with deadline 23 January 2020.
The DDA will call for applications for the following grants:
- 5 two-year industrial postdoctoral fellowships (up to an amount of 528,0000 DKK partly covering the salary of the industrial postdoctoral fellows during the project period with a maximum of 50% of the total salary)
- 3 three-year industrial PhD scholarships (up to an amount of 550,000 DKK partly covering the salary of the industrial PhD student during the project period)
The DDA does not undertake to support a project prior to submitting an application to the Innovation Fund Denmark, and the DDA does not cover already ongoing PhD/postdoc projects or public industrial PhD/postdoc projects.

In order to apply for an industrial grant from the DDA, the following requirements must be met:
