For the Novo Nordisk Foundation I hereby forward the 2016 Spring call for applications for the initiative Exploratory Pre-seed Grants.

The exploratory pre-seed program is a stimulus fund established to accelerate commercialization of biomedical research findings and development of novel technologies within the life sciences. The goal of an exploratory pre-seed grant is to stimulate entrepreneurship and to explore the potential of research findings at a very early stage (pre-seed), and to prepare the project for a full pre-seed grant at a later stage.
See attached call for applications.

It is now possible to create an application using the Foundation’s website/electronic application system. The deadline is April 5, 2016 at 4pm.

The call and the revised application guidelines can also be found at this page.

Best regards
Christina Maria Hald
