Description
“SIRI will be offering support with application development for this opportunity. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact Jennifer Stevens (v5js@mun.ca) early during the development process to discuss the services available to them.”
Funded under Horizon 2020, the aim of the European Research Area Network on Cardiovascular Diseases (ERA-CVD) is to foster transnational collaboration of European countries and beyond, and to coordinate research efforts and funding programs with its partner countries. CIHR-ICRH is pleased to be a partner on ERA-CVD for the fifth joint transnational call (JTC2020) focused on Prevention of Vascular Cognitive Impairment through Early Detection of Cardiovascular Diseases.
Research should focus on the association between vascular and cardiac precipitating or causative factors, and the molecular effectors to prevent the onset of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Projects should have a clear transnational research approach with potential clinical impact.
Research proposals submitted to this call should address one of the following sub-themes:
- – Interdisciplinary approaches (e.g., integrating biomedicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics or systems biology) to explore pathophysiological processes (e.g., microcirculation), develop applications for diagnosis, or new therapeutic approaches.
- – Research on sex or gender differences, co-morbidities or in segmented populations, in order to give further mechanistic insights into the development and progression of VCI, to identify novel risk/protective factors and differences in treatment responses.
It is strongly recommended that all applicants register in the partnering tool. For more information on the call, guidelines for applicants and proposal templates, please visit the JTC2020 webpage.
Submission deadline for proposals: April 2, 2020 at 17:00 (CET). Funding opportunity
