Central premises for the research:

• The programme is open to all hypotheses and research questions related to human health and disease and is not limited to particular thematic areas, topics or methods.
• The project may concern basic biomedicine, clinical problems, epidemiology and/or social challenges related to health.
• The research shall be based on the use of human biobanks, in combination with data from health surveys, health registers and the health services, as well as other relevant registers.
• The research projects should use the full potential of the large biobanks and registers, unless there are scientific reasons for a smaller study sample/population.The use of analysis capacity and competencies built up under national infrastructure efforts, such as the biobank infrastructure (Biobank Norway) and the FUGE-supported technology platforms, is encouraged.
• Each project shall address ethical, legal and social aspects (ELSA) relating to the use of human biological material and health data in the project, and such aspects may also be included as a sub-project or activity.
• Priority will be given to projects incorporating international collaboration.
