Objectives:
The primary objective of the KLINISKFORSKNING programme is to strengthen clinical research by giving priority both to supporting large national and international clinical trials and to ensuring adequate focus on national needs and priorities relating to targeted competence-building. The projects allocated funding under the programme must be designed to achieve the programme’s objectives.
The programme attaches particular importance to achieving a productive distribution of research between the Research Council and the regional health authorities. The focus of the programme is on funding large clinical trials that span several regions and include patient groups across regional boundaries. There is a need to provide support to clinical studies of patient groups and prescriptive medicines that are not, for various reasons, given priority by the pharmaceutical industry. The programme will also promote translational research by giving priority to projects in which there is a transfer of knowledge between basic research and clinical research.
One of the key tasks of the programme is to enhance and develop research expertise in response to national needs. The main focus during this programme period is on general practice, odontology, alternative and complementary medicine, and musculoskeletal disorders. There is a need to promote research that requires cooperation between the primary and specialist health care services, but is aimed at the needs of the former.
