Pre-Call Announcement for two calls on neurodegenerative disease research
The EU Joint Programme on Neurodegenrative Disease Research has published a pre-call announcement for the following two calls expected to be launched in late 2012:
Call 1: “A call for European research projects for the identification of genetic, epigenetic and environmental risk and protective factors”
The objective of Call 1 is to establish innovative, multinational, multidisciplinary collaborative research projects that will add value to existing research through identifying novel genetic, epigenetic and environmental risk and protective factors associated with neurodegenerative disorders.
Call 2: “A call for European research projects for the evaluation of health care policies, strategies and interventions”
The objective of Call 2 is to assess and compare policies, strategies and interventions related to neurodegenerative disease care, with regard to quality, access and cost-effectiveness. Examples of areas to be evaluated include care pathways, psychosocial interventions, end-of-life strategies, and educational programmes. Studies should benefit persons with neurodegenerative diseases, and their carers/families.
Both Calls are expected to launch in early December 2012, with a likely submission deadline of March 2013.
