- EC - ERA-Net Neuron : "European Research Projects on External Insults to the Nervous System"
Purpose: to facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that will address important questions relating to external insults to the central nervous system.The call will accept proposals ranging from understanding basic mechanisms of disease through proof-of-concept clinical studies in humans to neurorehabilitation. The focus of the call is on primary physical insults to the central nervous system, i.e. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The call covers acute traumatic events over the entire lifespan.
Field : Research proposals should cover at least one of the following areas:
a) Fundamental research investigating consequences of external insults to the central nervous system on a biological and functional level. This may include the development of innovative or shared resources, and new technologies for the prediction, prevention or therapy of disease.
b) Clinical research, including the exploitation of novel and/or existing clinical data sets, to develop new strategies for diagnosis, therapy, and technology-driven neurorehabilitation (e.g. brain computer interfaces, EEG and neuroimaging approaches) for diseases after external insults to the central nervous system.
Eligibility: Only transnational projects will be funded. Each consortium submitting a proposal must be comprised of a minimum of three research groups from at least three different countries.
Deadline : 14/03/2016 ((14:00:00 CET) pre-proposal
