Innovative fundamental research addressing the aetiology, pathogenesis and progression of the studied disease(s) condition and will generate new relevant knowledge of the disease(s).
Translational research answering a question of major interest that can have a positive impact on the health of patients.
Clinical research including early phase clinical studies, ancillary studies based on initiated or completed clinical trials, and studies involving patients in the pathophysiological analysis of their disease. These studies should generate novel strategies for diagnosis, therapy and/or rehabilitation.
Epidemiological studies including case-control, cohort, cross-sectional and intervention studies.
Neuropsychology studies and development or application of new techniques.
