For grant recipients
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 and reporting
The first instalment of the grant is paid out on request via the Foundation’s application and nomination system (LANAS). If the research grant is a multi-annual grant, further payments are subject to the Foundation’s approval of your annual status reports in LANAS and Researchfish. Reports must be submitted to: Researchfish and LANAS.
Reports must be uploaded to Researchfish annually, between 1 December and 15 January. Reports related to grants with a term of less than two years must continue to be submitted to Researchfish for a further three years after completion of the project. Reports related to grants with terms longer than two years must continue to be submitted to Researchfish for a further five years after completion of the project.
Status reports, final reports and accounts must be uploaded to LANAS during the term of the grant and must be submitted no later than three months after the end of the project year. As a grant holder, you must submit a scientific final report and accounts after expiry of the grant period. These must be submitted via LANAS, containing at least the same degree of detail as the budget for which you applied, or a budget approved later by the Foundation.
At present, you are only required to submit reports related to grants for science education and communication in LANAS.
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 supports the Danish National Strategy for Open Access. We therefore encourage our grantees to publish in an Open Access journal, as long as this journal is of a high and recognised quality. We furthermore expect that our grantees comply with the Open Access policy of their home institution, which in Denmark means that publications supported by the Lundbeck Foundation - whenever possible – must be published as Green Open Access, either at the home institution or in repositories. Open Access publications may await an embargo period but should always be published as soon as possible.
The Lundbeck Foundation supports publication costs in general, including costs related to Open Access. We can support Golden Open Access as long as this does not incur additional publication costs. We do not support Hybrid Open Access, a model involving both expenses for license/subscription and an Open Access fee.
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.
