CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Submission deadline (pre-proposals): 16 November 2018 (16:00 C
 ET local time in Brussels)\n \nScope of the Call: This call aims at suppo
 rting transnational research projects jointly addressing issues at the nex
 us of biodiversity and animal\, human and/ or plant health across the diff
 erent relevant spatial and temporal scales in an effort to support evidenc
 e-based decision-making. Projects addressing only biodiversity issues or o
 nly health issues will not be considered within the scope of the call.\nTh
 e Call addresses the following major themes:\n\n	Relationship between biol
 ogical diversity and animal\, human and/or plant health: effects and under
 lying mechanisms\n	Understanding and predicting the integrated effects of 
 global change factors on biodiversity-related health issues\n	Valuing/qual
 ifying biodiversity benefits to animal\, human and plant health\, and prom
 oting health-friendly biodiversity status as well as biodiversity-based he
 alth status\n\n \nType of Research: This call includes two actions\, supp
 orting two types of research projects:\nAction A: supports collaborative r
 esearch projects\, gathering different research teams generating new knowl
 edge in particular based on the production of new primary data \;\nAction 
 B: supports research synthesis projects\, gathering individuals forming a 
 working group which perform research and answer research questions using e
 xisting 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 e
 ligible). Note that these projects differ from systematic reviews or knowl
 edge synthesis which are based on a synthesis of publications and reports.
 \nNote: Funding Organisations can participate in Action A or B only\, or b
 oth. Please note that Switzerland is only participating in Action A throug
 h SNSF.  \n \nWho can apply: \nFor Action A: research partners from mini
 mum 3 countries* participating in Action  A\;\nFor action B: researchers 
 from minimum 5 countries* participating in Action B.\n*Please refer to thi
 s link for the list of countries involved in each action: http://www.biodi
 versa.org/1487\n \nHow: A two-steps process will apply\, with a mandatory
  submission of pre-proposals at step 1. Proposals (in English) must be sub
 mitted electronically with the Electronic Proposal Submission System (EPSS
 ).\n \nFunding: each partner should contact its own specific Funding orga
 nisation Contact Point (FCP). For Switzerland the contact is Stéphanie WY
