Center for Translational Epidemiology (TRACE) – research call

The Trond Mohn Foundation (TMS) wants to support the research activity at the Center for Translational Epidemiology at UiB. TMS has set aside NOK 18 million for such an investment and has invited UiB to nominate a limited number of research projects that can support the centre’s objectives and contribute to shaping the center in the desired direction in the coming years.
TRACE aims to further develop the field of epidemiology by establishing new collaborations involving researchers with a background in biomedicine, bioinformatics and clinical medicine, in addition to epidemiology and medical statistics. By building bridges between laboratory-based and population-based research, the center aims to achieve greater understanding of the causes of non-communicable diseases.
