Prevention Lab: Søg støtte til nytænkende forebyggelse

Prevention Lab støtter udvikling og afprøvning af innovative forebyggelsesmetoder i krydsfeltet mellem forskning og praksis.

Baggrund for Prevention Lab

Sundheden i Danmark er udfordret. Vi lever længere, flere vil få kræft og samtidig er ressourcerne til sundhedsvæsnet under pres. Forebyggelse er en essentiel del af løsningen, og derfor har Kræftens Bekæmpelse i 2024 etableret Prevention Lab.

Med Prevention Lab støtter vi projekter, der giver nye indsigter i, hvordan vi kan omsætte viden om sundhedsadfærd og risikofaktorer for kræft til bedre sundhed blandt borgerne. Det sker via konkrete praksisnære eksperimenter fulgt op af forskning.

Vi ønsker at bringe forskellige fagdiscipliner sammen. Ud over traditionel sundhedsforskning kan bl.a. samfundsvidenskab, computervidenskab, teknologi, antropologi, markedsføring og psykologi bidrage til nye indsigter og metoder.

Hvilke projekter kommer i betragtning?

For at komme i betragtning skal indsatsen eller projektet:

Omhandle et eller flere af temaerne i Kræftens Bekæmpelses forebyggelsespolitik (PDF)
Anvende nye og innovative metoder og tilgange
Have en potentiel impact på borgernes sundhed
Have et forankringspotentiale i en dansk kontekst
Være et praksisnært forskningsprojekt
Være af kortere varighed (1-2 år, men max 3 år)

Søg støtte

Uddelingen af midler fra Prevention Lab sker i fri konkurrence ved hjælp af årlige åbne opslag.

Frem til den 22. oktober 2024 kan du søge første pulje. Du skal indsende din ansøgning via vores digitale ansøgningssystem.

Udvalget omfatter forskere, praktikere og borger/patienter, og repræsenterer samlet set viden om:

Sundhedsadfærd og strukturelle rammer for sundhedsadfærd
Brobygning mellem sundhedsforskning og praksis
Folkesundhed og ulighed i sundhed
Personlig forebyggelse/kunstig intelligens/teknologi
Registerforskning/biomarkører
Implementeringsforskning
Innovation

Prevention lab: Apply for funding of innovative prevention initiatives

Prevention Lab supports innovative prevention methods to prevent cancer and promote cancer patient’s health.

Background for Prevention Lab

The incidence of cancer is rising, and with a growing population, resources for health care services are under increasing pressure. 

Prevention is a crucial part of the solution, which is why the Danish Cancer Society has established Prevention Lab in 2024.  

Prevention Lab supports projects providing new insights on how to translate knowledge about health behaviors and cancer risk factors into improved health. This is achieved through concrete practice-based experiments followed by research.

Prevention Lab aims to integrate various disciplines. Social sciences, technology, anthropology, marketing, and psychology could be disciplines contributing to new insights and methods in addition to traditional health research.

Which projects are considered?

Projects that can be considered must:        

Align with one or more themes of the Danish Cancer Society's prevention policy (Kræftens Bekæmpelses forebyggelsespolitik (PDF))
Utilize new and innovative methods and approaches 
Have potential impact on citizens' health 
Have anchoring potential in a Danish context    
Be practice-based research projects   
Be of short project duration (1-2 years, with a maximum of 3 years)

Apply for a grant

Funding distribution from Prevention Lab is conducted through an annual open call. You can apply for the first call until October 22nd 2024. You are invited to apply via our digital application system.

More about Prevention Lab

With funds from ‘Knæk Cancer 2023’ campaign, the Danish Cancer Society has allocated DKK 25 million for the period 2024-2027 to the Prevention Lab initiative. This initiative supports the development of new, innovative prevention methods.   

Prevention Lab is anchored within the Danish Cancer Society, which is home to Denmark’s largest knowledge center for cancer prevention. Here, specialists work every day to help the population reduce their risk of developing cancer.   

This work is based on evidence for the main risk factors for cancer and analyses of the population's health behavior. Additionally, we promote and encourage healthier lifestyles through information, partnerships and counselling.
