[ Swiss Academy of Medical Sciences - Research funding in biomedical ethics | Research Funding]

With resources from the Käthe Zingg-Schwichtenberg Fund, the SAMS supports research projects in biomedical ethics – particularly clinical and public health ethics – through annual calls.
 
The 2018 call for proposals is aimed at empirical or theoretical research projects investigating the topic of “Coercion in medical practice” from an ethical, philosophical, social, scientific or medical perspective. Preference will be given to less well studied areas than psychiatry and the management of the elderly. The project results should, as far as possible, contribute to the SAMS guidelines on «Coercive measures in medicine».
 
Restrictions:

• The project must have a link to Switzerland.
• Funding will NOT be provided for projects already underway.

• max. CHF 250'000 for up to 2 years (requests for a longer period must be justified).
• Eligible costs: PI’s salary and/or project costs.
