The FNRS is launching a new Audacious Medical Grant call for proposals in the field of neuroscience. 

Description of the instrument

• AMG-Neuro funding is intended for a single, eligible promoter from the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles to carry out a medical or biomedical research project that is original and daring in nature but that does not find support in traditional funding channels due to a lack of preliminary data, the absence of previous work or an unusual methodology (inter-university projects will not be supported under this AMG-Neuro 2025 call).
• Duration of funding: 24 months maximum.
• Amount of funding: maximum 120,000 euros.
• Eligible costs: personnel, operating costs, equipment (flexibility will be allowed between these different categories of costs).

Scientific scope

• The AMG-Neuro 2025 call will focus on neuroscience: development of the nervous system, homeostasis and ageing, function and dysfunction of the nervous system, systems neuroscience and modelling, biological basis of cognitive and behavioural processes, neurological and mental disorders.
• All approaches will be eligible (biomedical research, clinical research, translational research, epidemiological research, public health, modelling, etc.).
• The project submitted should lead to:
  • a better understanding of the nervous system and its pathologies,  
  • and/or the development of new therapeutic approaches,
  • and/or improved prevention or detection of nervous system pathologies.

Closure of the call : Thursday 10th July at 2 p.m.
