The Research ExceLlence and Innovation in Global HealTh (RELIGHT) programme, supported by the Faculty of Medicine at UiO, has been established to assist research groups in advancing their global health agenda through project development support.

Aim of the call

RELIGHT will award project development support to one more additional research group for the 2022-2024 period with 300.000 NOK total over the course of three years, which will facilitate capacity towards receiving external funding. Successful applicants are encouraged and should aim for obtaining funding within the schemes such as Centres of Excellence (SFF - the Norwegian Research Council), EU Horizon 2020 or equivalent, in Norway.

  • UiO or OUS affiliates (faculty, hospital, postdoctoral fellows) belonging to established research groups and aspiring to be excellent researchers in global health;
  • at least one person in the group must be employed at UiO;
  • groups of which the PI or Co-PI is working at the Faculty of Medicine, UiO, will have an advantage;
