Event details

Date 16.11.2018
Category Call for proposal
Submission deadline (pre-proposals): 16 November 2018 (16:00 CET local time in Brussels)
 
Scope of the Call: This call aims at supporting transnational research projects jointly addressing issues at the nexus of biodiversity and animal, human and/ or plant health across the different relevant spatial and temporal scales in an effort to support evidence-based decision-making. Projects addressing only biodiversity issues or only health issues will not be considered within the scope of the call.
The Call addresses the following major themes:
  • Relationship between biological diversity and animal, human and/or plant health: effects and underlying mechanisms
  • Understanding and predicting the integrated effects of global change factors on biodiversity-related health issues
  • Valuing/qualifying biodiversity benefits to animal, human and plant health, and promoting health-friendly biodiversity status as well as biodiversity-based health status
 
Type of Research: This call includes two actions, supporting two types of research projects:
Action A: supports collaborative research projects, gathering different research teams generating new knowledge in particular based on the production of new primary data ;
Action B: supports research synthesis projects, gathering individuals forming a working group which perform research and answer research questions using existing data sets. These research projects will not collect or produce new primary data; the core activity of these projects being synthesizing and/or analysing existing datasets (synthesizing concepts and ideas is also eligible). Note that these projects differ from systematic reviews or knowledge synthesis which are based on a synthesis of publications and reports.
Note: Funding Organisations can participate in Action A or B only, or both. Please note that Switzerland is only participating in Action A through SNSF. 
 
Who can apply:
For Action A: research partners from minimum 3 countries* participating in Action  A;
For action B: researchers from minimum 5 countries* participating in Action B.
*Please refer to this link for the list of countries involved in each action: http://www.biodiversa.org/1487
 
How: A two-steps process will apply, with a mandatory submission of pre-proposals at step 1. Proposals (in English) must be submitted electronically with the Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS).
 
Funding: each partner should contact its own specific Funding organisation Contact Point (FCP). For Switzerland the contact is Stéphanie WYSS (SNSF); [email protected]; +41 31 308 22 68
