Research database

REDCap is a system developed specifically for clinical research. It is possible to record, store and manage data in this system so that applicable data security requirements are met.



The Research Support Office

The Research Support Office provides advice and assistance in connection with applications, budgets, project administration and the development of strategies. 

The Research Support Office is divided into several teams. Each team has a number of  employees who can be contacted depending on what you would like to ask.  


Good Clinical Practice (GCP)

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) is an internationally recognized quality standard for clinical drug trials involving humans.

The purpose of the GCP unit is to provide guidance and monitoring to researchers in connection with the initiation and conduct of drug trials and trials with medical devices, so that these are conducted in accordance with GCP rules.

Research Support Funds

Allocation of research support funds (formerly annuum) is made to the departments, and is therefore not personal funds.


Research communication/press

If you would like to publish a research result, announce the receipt of a grant or similar, you can contact the department's communications partner at Health Communication, Jakob Binderup Christensen.


Registering research applications

ReAp is a system for registering and following up on research applications. When a research application is submitted, it must be entered into ReAp, and upon response, the application must be registered as granted or rejected.
