[ ERA-NET NEURON - Research funding on Neuroethics | Research funding ]

The ERA-NET NEURON is a consortium of research funding organizations supporting basic, clinical and translational research in the diverse fields of disease-related neuroscience. Supported research aims to better understand brain diseases and their progression in order to pave the way for new or improved routes for diagnosis and therapy. The consortium is supported by the EU’s H2020 programme.

Every year, the participating funding organizations (incl. SNSF) launch annual calls to support multinational, collaborative research projects on disease-related neuroscience.

NEURON has launched a call for research on Ethical, Legal, and Social Aspects (ELSA) of Neuroscience. No empirical neuroscientific or biomedical research can be funded in this call.

Who can apply:

• International consortia composed of minimum 2 and maximum 5 researchers (including partners) from universities, research institute, hospitals, foundations and/or companies from at least 2 different participating countries (besides the partners). No more than two researchers can be from the same country. Partners from other countries may be part of a consortium if they can secure their own funding.
• Swiss-based applicants: must be eligible for SNSF Project Funding (see EPFL Instructions for SNSF Project Funding) and cannot participate in more than one proposal per call. Please contact [email protected] to verify your eligibility for the call. Proposals with overlapping funding periods with ongoing SNSF grants are only approved if the research projects pursue different goals in the context of this programme. The SNSF exclusively funds research conducted for non-commercial purposes.

• Deadline for proposals: 28 April 2020 at 14:00 CET
• Swiss applicants must submit the proposal via mySNF at the same deadline as the consortium application is submitted to the Call Secretariat via the electronic submission system.
• Decision: mid-September 2020
• Project start: early 2021
