Dear everyone!

First and foremost: Congratulations to Marit Sandberg, PhD candidate at the Centre for Research on Heart Disease in Women, who won  the Researcher Grand Prix in Bergen! She researches pregnancy and childbirth in women with congenital heart disease and convinced both the audience and the judges with her presentation. It is great that one of our PhD candidates will represent UiB in the final in Oslo, we wish you good luck!

Furthermore, we continue to work on our finances, it is important that everyone understands the serious situation we are in. We have to budget externally funded projects in such a way that the department does not run a deficit overall. As part of that process, we will now have a survey of our technical staff, as the first step we have invited to an information meeting and a FORUM meeting with all research group and core facility managers. If we stand together, we will manage this situation!

Have a great weekend!

Diagnosing Rare Diseases: from the Clinic to Research and back

Leave a reply

Around 30 million people in Europe are living with a rare genetic disease (a disease that affects less than 1 in 2,000 people).

This course offers an exploration of key questions around rare disease diagnostic research and issues today, as well as insights into patient experiences.

Over the last two decades, a lot of progress has been made in diagnosing rare genetic diseases.

You will discover more about the progress made through diagnostic research, as well as the types of genetic tests available for rare diseases, and the impact of having a diagnosis – or lacking a diagnosis – on patients’ lives.

You’ll explore key issues relating to rare genetic diseases and undertake your own internet-based investigation into several diagnostic research topics.

Norwegian Cancer Society’s Qualification Projects – Accelerating Research Outcome and Patient Impact

Leave a reply

The Norwegian Cancer Society’s (NCS) aim is to prevent and fight cancer, and to ensure the best quality of life for patients and their families. Through research, prevention, information, support, advice, and lobbying, we fight cancer locally, nationally and globally. The NCS provides a considerable amount of all direct funding for cancer research in Norway, thus contributing to promoting a research environment of top international standard in the country. Furthermore, nurturing innovation and promoting novel ideas play a crucial role in advancing cancer research and enhancing patient outcomes.

Research findings frequently serve as the foundation for multiple potential commercial applications. In a qualification project, the primary objective is to thoroughly explore and pinpoint the most promising commercial application prospects, including service innovation. This initial investigation lays the groundwork for subsequent technology verification and development. Promising research and innovative solutions often take too long to reach patients. The NCS aims to accelerate this process, particularly for those applications with high patient benefit. This call focus on increasing the innovation potential of projects funded by the NCS (from 2016-2023).

Responsible organization The Norwegian Cancer Society
Application type Qualification projects
Project duration 3 months to 12 months – First/last possible start date 01.01.2025/01.07.2025
Funding scale 200 000 to 1 000 000 NOK
Total amount of call 8 MNOK
Application deadline 15 October 2024 at 13:00
