Every year, the Independent Research Fund Denmark DFF funds hundreds of research projects. The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences SUND at the University of Copenhagen receives 36 grants of which 4 has been given to researchers at Department of Neuroscience.

Claus Løland, Jakob Sørensen, Jean-Francois Perrier and Jens Bo Nielsen

Claus Juul Løland, Jakob Balslev Sørensen, Jens-Francois Perrier and Jens Bo Nielsen receive funding from the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF).

The grants come from the DFF Research Project 1 and DFF Research Project 2.

A DFF-Research Project 1 is characterised by being a clear and well defined research question, where the research activities are expected to be of a high, international level of quality

The DFF–Research Project 2 is often characterised by a coordinated and mutually binding collaboration featuring a well-defined, joint research question. However, it may also be a project formulated by a single researcher
