CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:The Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JP
 ND) is the largest global research initiative aimed at tackling the challe
 nge of neurodegenerative diseases. This ERA-NET is funded by the EU’s H2
 020 programme and by the participating countries’ funding agencies\, inc
 luding the SNSF.\n\nFor the 2020 call\, the JPND initiative has announced 
 a EUR 18 M transnational call for multinational research on novel imaging 
 and brain stimulation methods and technologies for neurodegenerative disea
 ses. The SNSF has allocated CHF 1M (approx. EUR 900K) for Swiss-based gran
 tees from 3-4 projects.\n\nProposals must focus on one or several of the f
 ollowing\n\nNeurodegenerative diseases:\n\n	Alzheimer’s disease and othe
 r dementias\,\n	Parkinson’s disease and PD-related disorders\,\n	Prion d
 iseases\,\n	Motor neuron diseases\,\n	Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)\,\n	Hun
 tington’s disease\,\n	Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).\n\n\nResearch areas
 :\n\n\n	Imaging technologies\,\n	Development of novel imaging technologies
 \,\n	Improvements to the application of existing cutting-edge imaging tech
 nologies\,\n	Brain stimulation techniques\,\n	New or improved applications
  of both invasive and non invasive brain stimulation techniques for the di
 agnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nWho can apply:\n\n
 \n	International consortia composed of 3-6 researchers from at least 3 dif
 ferent participating countries. Partners from other countries can be part 
 of the consortium\, but must secure their own funding. Applicants can be b
 ased at universities (or other higher education institutions)\, non-univer
 sity public or private research institutes\, hospitals and other health an
 d social care settings\, as well as commercial companies\, in particular S
 MEs. Collaborations with companies from outside the traditional medical se
 ctor (e.g. computing\, artificial intelligence) are welcome. Eligibility r
 ules depend on the national funding agencies.\n\n\n\n	Swiss-based applican
 ts: must be eligible for SNSF Project Funding (see EPFL Instructions for S
 NSF Project Funding) and cannot participate in more than one proposal per 
 call. The SNSF exclusively funds research conducted for non-commercial pur
 poses. Please contact research@epfl.ch to verify your eligibility for the 
 call. In case of several overlapping SNSF projects\, all projects must sig
 nificantly distinguish themselves from each other.  \n\n\nFunding & Durat
 ion: min. CHF 50’000 for 12-36 months (for this call\, the SNSF has allo
 cated CHF 1M for 3-4 projects).\n\nTimeline of the call: \n\n\n	Deadline f
 or pre-proposals: 3 March 2020 at 15:00 CET.\n	Deadline for full proposals
 : 30 June 2020 at 15:00 CET.\n\n\nApplications must be submitted by the ca
 ll deadlines via both the JPND online submission tool and mySNF. \n\nFor 
 further information\, please have a look at the call webpage\, call guidel
 ines (incl. evaluation criteria and scoring)\, call procedures\, instructi
 ons for Swiss-based applicants\, pre-proposal template\, online submission
  tool\, as well as the outcome of past calls.\n
