    1 Academia: Journal articles (type: citation impact, 1 and 10% most frequently cited worldwide respectively, nationally and internationally co-authored respectively, published in cross-disciplinary journals, no of first and last authors), interdisciplinarity, academic specilizations
    2 Public sector: Guidelines used by general prationers, medical products developed, interventions and clinical trials, knowledge dissemination activities (e g school audiences),  courses organized, particularly for healthcare professionals, PhD students and postdocs supported, impact cases, interviews grantees, career development for grantees
    3 Private sector: Number of grantees collaborations with Danish and foreign companies, industrially co-authored journal articles, no of patents and patent applications, grantees’ collaborations with research-active companies.
