Ansökningar - Hjärt-Lungfonden

Hjärt-Lungfonden stöder forskning som har sin grund i kliniskt relevanta frågeställningar inom områdena hjärt-, kärl- och lungsjukdomar samt tuberkulos. Fonden välkomnar även ansökningar gällande samsjukligheten mellan cancer och hjärt-, kärl- eller lungsjukdomar där det tydligt framgår att forskningen avser  hjärt-, kärl- eller lungsjukdom.

Projektbidrag  - Hjärt-Lungfonden ger stöd till forskningsprojekt som kan sökas för en projektperiod om ett till tre år och för ändamål som specificerats i ansökan.

Nationellt samverkansprojekt - Ett nationellt samverkansprojekt är ett projekt där det finns en planeringsgrupp som är nationellt förankrad med en nationell projektledare. Det är ett projekt som har ett tydligt mervärde genom att drivas som ett nationellt samverkansprojekt och där det

finns ett nära samarbete mellan samtliga parter. Exempel på nationellt samverkansprojekt är nationella studier med flera studieorter  och nationella datainsamlingar som kommer många forskare till gagn. Nationellt samverkansprojekt kan sökas för en projektperiod om ett till tre år.                    

Postdoktortjänst/Forskarmånader disputerad - För att ge större flexibilitet i beslut om tilldelning av postdoktortjänst och forskarmånader för disputerade så blir den som söker postdoktortjänst även sökande för forskarmånader för disputerade. Anslagen söks samtidigt och i samma ansökningsformulär. Det går alltså inte att enbart söka en postdoktortjänst, däremot

går det att söka endast forskarmånader för disputerade. Det finns två typer av postdoktortjänster:

(i) En heltidstjänst på 2 år; (ii) En deltidstjänst på upp till 4 år som kombineras med klinisk tjänstgöring på 25–50 %. Postdoktorfinansieringen motsvarar högst 2 år på heltid (24 månader).                                                          

Forskartjänst/Forskarmånader disputerad - Den huvudsakliga inriktningen för Hjärt-Lungfondens forskarmånader är att ge fler forskare möjlighet till forskningstid. Anslag kan beviljas upp till tre år, men inte för den som har haft forskartjänst i sex år.

Forskarmånader doktorand - Anslaget används för att finansiera forskningstid för doktorander som arbetar i Sverige. Anslag söks av huvudhandledaren (ej bihandledaren). Handledaren är huvudsökande för ansökan och doktoranden är medsökande.

Postdoktorstipendium utomlands - Hjärt-Lungfonden beviljar ett begränsat antal stipendier för forskning på postdoktornivå vid erkänd utländsk institution. Stipendierna tilldelas för perioder om 6–

12 månader i högst tre år.    

Återvändarbidrag - Syftet med bidraget är att underlätta fortsatt forskning i Sverige efter postdoktorvistelse vid utländskt universitet. Hjärt-Lungfonden beviljar ett begränsat antal bidrag efter avslutad postdoktortjänst i utlandet. Bidraget är en tjänst motsvarande 50 % vid universitet/högskola i Sverige under två år.

Closing date: May 10, 2023.

Fundamental Research to Understand the Mechanisms of Neurotropic Virus-mediated Disease (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed), NIH

Funder's opportunity ID: RFA-AI-23-028   

Upcoming deadlines: 25 Aug 2023

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to promote basic research to better understand the mechanisms underlying viral invasion of the central nervous system (CNS), virus- and/or host immune-mediated neuropathogenesis, and the associated clinical manifestations for emerging and re-emerging neurotropic viruses. This NOFO will support fundamental research into mechanisms that lead to neuropathogenesis after acute viral infection of the CNS. To fill this important knowledge gap, proposed projects will focus on less-studied emerging and re-emerging neurotropic viruses for which there are currently no approved vaccines or therapeutics such as non-polio enteroviruses (e.g., EV-D68, EV-A71), flaviviruses (e.g., WNV, POWV, DTV), alphaviruses (e.g., EEEV, VEEV, CHIKV), bunyaviruses (e.g., RVFV, LACV), and paramyxoviruses (e.g., NiV, HeV).

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative - Measuring Metabolism Across Scales

Upcoming deadlines:  01 Jun 2023

Amount: The maximum budgets for proposed projects are $500,000 total costs for Expanded Projects and $250,000 total costs for Focused Projects. All project awards will be for a 24-month duration.

Eligibility: Each application should designate one Principal Investigator (PI) as the Coordinating Principal Investigator (Coordinating PI). At least one Principal Investigator of the team must have expertise in metabolism or another related field. Early-career investigators are strongly encouraged to apply as Coordinating PIs and Co-PIs.

Abstract: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) seeks to support two-year collaborative research projects focused on measuring metabolism across organelles and cells. This Request for Applications (RFA) aims to accelerate innovative discoveries in metabolism and metabolic physiology in health and disease. Applications for two types of grants are welcome: Expanded Projects and Focused Projects. The long-term goal of this opportunity is to investigate the metabolic processes that maintain physiological homeostasis at the sub-cellular and cellular levels, and understand how and when these normal processes go awry. This two-year funding opportunity is explicitly aimed at addressing the mechanisms of metabolism, including its dynamics and resolution, molecular drivers, and the effects of genetic and environmental risk factors on relevant sub-cellular and cellular properties and interactions, and precisely mapping metabolic changes and states across various scales using a broad range of technologies. The projects should aim to use diverse experimental systems beyond immortalized cell lines to ensure the broadest possible insights into cellular and organelle biology. These grants are not intended to support translational research, clinical trials, or drug development.
