In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NordForsk launched a call for research proposals focusing on health data research related to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This initiative aimed to generate new knowledge about the virus and its impact on public health by leveraging the high-quality research infrastructures and public healthcare systems in the region. The initiative aimed to complement ongoing international efforts by focusing on regional healthcare systems and patient populations.
The call offered a total funding pool of NOK 57 million NOK. The funding was allocated into five collaborative projects with a focus on using health data to improve understanding of COVID-19.
