Evaluation of the KG Jebsen centres initiative 2014 and 2018

The Foundation’s Program of Translational Medicine was evaluated in 2018 by professor Bente Klarlund Pedersen (Rigshospitalet / Københavns universitet), professor emeritus Olli Jänne (University of Helsinki) and professor Mats Benner (Lunds Universitet). The main question was whether the funding scheme is working as intended; is it making a positive difference for Norwegian translational medical research? Is the programme contributing to raising this research to a high international level?
There were no calls for applications in that year. Read the evaluation report here: Evaluation Report on the Program of Translational Medicine Sponsored by Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen
