Objectiu de la convocatòria
The aim of the call is to support transnational research projects that focus on the improvement of cognitive brain ageing through nutrition and other lifestyle factors. Thereby it enables scientists from different countries to build a valuable collaboration on interdisciplinary research projects based on complementarities and sharing of expertise in the field of brain ageing, its related disorders, nutrition and lifestyle factors.
Característiques principals
At least one of the following lifestyle factors should be investigated: nutrition (particularly improvements in dietary pattern), physical activity, sleep pattern (quantity, quality and timing), social interaction and stress. Researchers should provide a public health approach for health promotion and disease prevention considering large population groups such as age cohorts or relevant subgroups. Proposals shall include one of the following approaches, such as:
  • Pilot test interventions that will help to lower the risk of cognitive impairment manifestations related to a pathological brain ageing
  • Upscaling of existing pilot interventions that will help to lower the risk of cognitive impairment manifestations related to pathological brain ageing

    Informació addicional
    The call follows a two-stage procedure.
    Requisits
    Joint research proposals may be submitted by applicants belonging to one of the following categories (according to national/regional regulations certain categories may not be eligible for funding by a specific funding organisation, please see Annex I of the call text published on ERA4Health.eu):
  • Academia – research teams working in public and private universities, other higher education institutions or research institutes.
  • Clinical/public health sector – research teams working in hospitals/public health and/or other health care settings and health organisations, including primary health care.
  • Enterprises – companies dedicated to communication, involved in health research and innovation.
  • Operational stakeholders – e.g., patient advocacy organisations, municipalities and local governments, local/national NGO’s. In line with the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), operational stakeholders should provide useful knowledge to the consortium and ensure the consortium’s research is useful and translatable to their (or other) organizational contexts. Furthermore, they could contribute by influencing decision making and creating changes within their organisations. Operational stakeholders should be engaged throughout the whole duration of the research project, from the conception of the study to dissemination.
    Only transnational projects will be funded. The following conditions apply to the composition of a consortium: A minimum of 3 (three) eligible and a maximum of 5 (five) eligible partners from at least 3 (three) different countries participating in the call.
  • The maximum number of eligible partners can be increased up to 6 (six) or 7 (seven) if they include 1 (one) or 2 (two) partners from the following participating countries: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia
  • No more than 2 (two) eligible partners from the same country participating in the call will be accepted within one consortium.
  • A maximum of 2 (two) collaborators per consortium. Collaborators are self-funded partners: i.e., partners that do not request funds to any of the participating funding organisations (i.e., partners from non-funding countries or partners which are not fundable according to national/regional regulations of the participating funding organisations).
    • Dotació
    If a Spanish Partner requesting funding to the ISCIII is NOT the Coordinator of the transnational project:
  • 140.000€ (overheads included), if there is only one Spanish Partner requesting funding to the ISCIII in the proposal.
  • 180.000€ (overheads included), if there are two Spanish Partners requesting funding to the ISCIII in the proposal.
    If a Spanish Partner requesting funding to the ISCIII IS the Coordinator of the transnational project:
  • 200.000€ (overheads included), if there is only one Spanish Partner in the proposal, acting as a coordinator.
  • 250.000€ (overheads included), if there is one Spanish Partner in addition to the Spanish Coordinator in the proposal, both requesting funding to the ISCIII.
    • Durada
    From 24 to 36 months.
    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 (please see the Call text).
    Due to the complexity of the call, if you are interested in submitting an application we strongly recommend that you contact the Research Grants and Contracts Office well in advance of the deadline.
