Grant recipients will find relevant information below:

When you receive a grant

The decision will be announced in writing and not given over the telephone.

The grant may be a full grant, i.e. equivalent to the amount applied for, or a partial grant. In some cases, a partial grant may be conditional upon the remainder of the amount being provided by a third party. The grant may be a one-off payment or paid out over the course of up to five years. Any funded equipment or appliances belong to the recipient’s institution. However, the recipient has the right of use.

The grant will be published in our list of grants on the Foundation’s website.

Publications relating to projects that have received funding from the Lundbeck Foundation are expected to mention the Foundation under acknowledgements.

Obligations

As a grant holder, you must comply with Lundbeck Foundation's General Terms and Conditions for Research Grants in force from time to time. There may be special guidelines for specific grants. If so, these will be sent to you. Find more information about the General Terms and Conditions

Payment 

The first instalment of the grant is paid out by request via the Foundation’s application and nomination system (LANAS). The first instalment will at the earliest be paid out one month before the starting date of the project and at the latest one month after the starting date of the project.

If the research grant is a multi-annual grant, further payments are subject to the Foundation’s approval of your annual reports.

Surplus funds

The Lundbeck Foundation must be notified immediately if you receive funding from another source for a project that has already received a grant from the Lundbeck Foundation, meaning that the project receives more funding than the amount for which you applied. Surplus funds must be repaid to the Foundation.

Open Access policy

The Lundbeck Foundation follows the Danish National Strategy for Open Access, thus encouraging our grantees to publish in an Open Access (OA) journal, as long as this journal is of a high and recognised quality.

We expect publications supported by the Lundbeck Foundation - whenever possible – to be published as Green or Golden OA. We support publishing expenses, but not OA expenses over and above those related to publishing as Green OA.

Definitions:
Green OA refers to publication in a quality-assured journal coupled with parallel archiving of the final quality-assured version of the researcher’s article in a digital repository. This repository will have online OA for all, potentially following any embargo period as set by the journal.

Golden OA covers a model where the journal as such is published as OA, and all its articles are immediately accessible online free of charge.  The costs – Article Processing Charges – are typically covered by the researcher who pays the journal/publisher for the publication of each individual article.  For the time being, this model often implies considerable extra costs in relation to the existing subscription-based publication model.

Information and publication

All grants are published here on the Foundation’s website.

The Lundbeck Foundation must be credited in all public information material about projects funded by the Foundation. Therefore, it must be clearly stated in all peer-reviewed publications, conference proceedings, press coverage and other communication activities that the project is funded by the Lundbeck Foundation. If you are interviewed or, for example, talk to the media, you should ensure that it is quite clear that the activity is funded by the Lundbeck Foundation.
