The FNRS is launching a brand new call: an Audacious Medical Grant call in the field of paediatric diseases. This funding is made possible by private sponsorship.
Description of the instrument
- AMG-Pediatrics 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 which 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 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 scientific scope will take into consideration all pathologies affecting paediatric or foetal patients/subjects, including infectious diseases and vaccinology, immune deficiencies, cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic diseases, congenital, developmental, neurological and psychiatric disorders, cancers, etc.
- All approaches will be eligible (biomedical research, clinical research, translational research, epidemiological research, public health, modelling, etc.).
- The projects presented should lead to:
- a better understanding of a paediatric disease,
- and/or the development of new therapeutic approaches/tools/techniques,
- and/or improved prevention or detection of paediatric diseases.
Closure of the call : Thursday 10th July at 2 p.m.
See the mini-guide.
