Project manager - requirements 

All applications must be submitted through an applicant institution, i.e. a health trust, private non-profit hospital or a private institution with access to applications in Helse Sør-Øst.

The PI (applicant) must:  

  • have a PhD
  • be employed in at least a 20% position at the applicant institution, from the application deadline and throughout the project period
  • have their main position at either the applicant institution or another institution in the region

External project manager 

Principal Investigators (PIs) who meet the formal requirements outlined above have the opportunity to serve as an external project manager for a project at one of the non-university hospitals in the region with the lowest research activity, which in this call is Sykehuset Telemark HF and Sunnaas sykehus HF, or a private, non-profit institution with application access to regional research funds. This arrangement applies only to the categories of doctoral grants and postdoctoral fellowships in the specialist healthcare service.

If such an application is submitted, the PI’s rights and responsibilities in the project must be specified in a written agreement between the PI’s institution and the applicant institution. 

External projects are not included in the annual quota per PI. Note, however, project managers for external projects that commenced in the last three years (2023, 2024 or 2025) cannot submit a new application as an external project manager in this call.

Upper age limit for project manager 

Researchers over the age of 70 (born in 1955 or earlier) cannot apply as PIs, but they can participate in projects led by others.

It is permitted to hold the role of project manager for ongoing projects until the age of 72. If a PI turns 72 during the project period, the application must be accompanied by a confirmation from the applicant institution that the PI responsibility will be transferred to someone else when this occurs. Please use the provided template for such confirmation.
