Objectiu de la convocatòria

The aim of the ERA-NET NEURON is to coordinate and optimise research efforts and funding programmes of its partner countries in the field of disease related neuroscience. Under the umbrella of NEURON, a joint transnational call (JTC2019) is launched in the field of biomarkers in disorders of the brain. For the afflicted patients a correct diagnosis and individualized treatment without severe side effects are of crucial importance.

Característiques principals

To facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that will address the unmet medical need for valid and reliable biomarkers for the diagnosis, patient stratification, prognosis, monitoring and prediction of treatment response and side effects in neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Research proposals should cover at least one of the following areas:

a) Fundamental research addressing the discovery and validation of biomarkers to be used as bio signatures of the pathophysiology associated to specific neurological and psychiatric diseases.

b) Clinical research on clinically relevant biomarkers for the diagnosis, patient stratification, prognosis or monitoring or prediction of treatment response and side effects for specific neurological and psychiatric diseases.

Elegibilitat

Each consortium submitting a proposal must be comprised of a minimum of three research teams eligible for funding by organizations listed:

Belgium; Canada; Finland; France; Germany; Greece; Italy; Latvia; Norway; Poland; Romania; Slovakia; Spain; Switzerland; Turkey.

The eligible research teams must be from at least three different countries. The total number of research groups in a consortium is limited to five, including partners participating by own expenses. No more than two research groups can be from the same country. Consortia including partners from countries that are to date underrepresented in this funding scheme (Latvia, Romania and Slovakia) may increase the total number of partners to six.

Dotació

For Spanish participants, up to 100,000 € per partner (overheads included) or up to 175,000 € per coordinator (overheads included).

Durada

Up to 3 years

AVÍS IMPORTANT

The call is made at European level but each partner of the consortium is funded by its national funding agency and must follow its national funding rules. Spanish participants are funded by ISCIII. There are eligibility requirements for the institutions and principal investigators funded by ISCIII. (please see annex B of the Call text) For Spanish applicants funded by ISCIII: after the evaluation at European level, successful applicants will be invited to submit an application to ISCIII.
