[1] Early career award: A maximum of seven years must have elapsed from the disputation date to the application deadline, ie disputation date in the period 25.3.2015-25.3.2020. Earlier disputation date than 25.3.2015 can be accepted if it is due to deductions for statutory leave or continuous full-time and / or part-time sick leave, which corresponds to at least eight weeks of full-time absence and which has taken place after the disputation date. Reference must be made to the dates of such absence. Documentation may be requested if the absence is with an employer other than OUS. Absence from research to work with clinical specialization is not a reason for deduction. Time spent on clinical work / specialization does not count negatively - the committee is aware of the difference between full-time and part-time researchers.

[2] Consider the value and impact of all research outputs (including datasets and software) in addition to research publications, and consider a broad range of impact measures including qualitative indicators of research impact, such as influence on policy and practice, https://sfdora.org/read/
