Project Affiliation
Project affiliation guide
This guide outlines the process for affiliating a research project within ACROBATIC. Affiliation provides access to funding opportunities, inclusion in the national research network, and increased visibility.
What is project affiliation?
Project affiliation means that a research project is formally linked with ACROBATIC. Affiliated projects can apply for funding, benefit from our collaborative network, and benefit from ACROBATIC’s national infrastructures and clinical focus areas.
Why affiliate a project?
- Access to ACROBATIC funding opportunities.
- Inclusion in a strong national research network across institutions.
- Visibility as part of ACROBATIC’s official project portfolio.
- Support in ensuring scientific compliance.
Eligibility criteria
- The project must fall within ACROBATIC’s clinical focus areas (Clinical Focus Areas)
- CFA1: Prehabilitation and preoperative risk assessment
- CFA2: Surgical innovation and technique
- CFA3: Survivorship
- The project should preferable be national according to DCCC’s Guidelines for a national project:
- There are participants (institutions / treatment centers) both east and west of the Great Belt.
- At least three departments from different regions, or at least two universities, are involved.
- If it concerns a rare cancer area, the requirement for three units can be deviated from.
- If the initiative is cross-sectoral (hospitals, municipalities, etc.), at least three actors from both region and municipality should be involved.
- If the project is not national, plans for achieving national implementation must be described, including any basic research, proof-of-concept, observational, feasibility, RCT, register, etc., supporting this.
