Medical artificial intelligence: call for project funding for collaborative projects between the University of Bergen and Helse Bergen.

We are facing significant societal changes where investment in medical and health-related research and innovation is becoming increasingly important. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the transformative technologies shaping modern healthcare and medical research. A research-driven approach to determining which types of medical AI should be developed and implemented is essential to ensure high quality and evidence-based decision-making. To unlock this potential, we need more research that uses AI as a tool to address key medical questions—enhancing diagnostic accuracy, streamlining treatment pathways, and supporting clinical decisions in ways that were previously not possible.

The application process will take place in two stages, with a pre-qualification round organized by the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bergen in collaboration with Helse Bergen. The deadline for applications for the pre-qualification round is October 15, 2025, at 12:00 noon. The 5-7 highest-ranked applications from the pre-qualification round will be invited to submit an application to the final round organized by the Trond Mohn Research Foundation.
