Europeiska anslag
Pandemic preparedness and response: Host-pathogen interactions of infectious diseases with epidemic potential: HORIZON-HLTH-2024-DISEASE-08-20
Call details: Research and Innovation Action, €7-8 million per project
Scope:
As shown by the COVID-19 pandemic, infectious diseases remain a major threat to health and health security in the EU and globally. Viral disease emergence is expected to accelerate due to among other factors, climate change, and thus a proactive approach to the development of vaccines and inhibitors for the cellular uptake of viruses in preparedness for future infectious disease outbreaks is needed. The availability of vaccines and candidates that inhibit cellular uptake of viruses would provide a critical preparedness measure against future health threats, in particular against pathogens with high pandemic potential meeting the criteria identified by the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA).
Proposals should follow innovative approaches to characterise host-pathogen interactions with a view to inhibit viral replication, viral proteases, viral exit strategies and to develop therapeutic antibodies and vaccines that target viruses with high epidemic or pandemic potential for the EU. Proposals should focus on the following viruses: Hendra and Nipah virus, Lassa virus, Crimean Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, Rift Valley fever virus, Ebola and Marburg virus, Dengue virus, Yellow Fever virus, Zika virus, West Nile fever virus and Chikungunya virus. Proposal should take into account sex and gender aspects.
Closing date: 11 April 2024

The role of mainstream media, social media and marketing in fostering healthy and sustainable consumption patterns and how to encourage good practices: HORIZON-CL6-2024-GOVERNANCE-01-3
Call details: Coordination and Support Actions, €3 million per project
Scope:
Food consumption cannot be considered the sole responsibility of citizens or a problem of demand only since it is a result of a choice that is influenced by culture, social and economic factors and where the food environment plays an important role. In todays’ interconnected world, the impacts of mainstream media, social media and digital marketing are amplified, with food influencers, NGOs and social platforms making citizens think differently about food. As studies show, since eating habits are also influenced by what consumers see, being virtually surrounded by healthy eaters may encourage consumers to eat healthier. However, the reverse is also true.
In addition, differences in media and marketing (both linear and non-linear) approaches of national/regional/local governments, civil society, and the private sector, can lead to differences in consumption patterns and food choices across different socio-economic and cultural groups. Moreover, television viewing and internet use has led to a more inactive, sedentary lifestyle, as well as more exposure to the marketing of products high in fat, sugar and/or salt among adults and children. Greater levels of TV viewing and internet use is associated with harmful effects on the eating habits of children. This includes higher consumption levels of products high in fat, sugar and/or salt. An improved understanding of these differences and drivers of food choices can support all food systems operators and actors to develop innovative and effective communication strategies (and related policy and regulatory frameworks) that would benefit all parts of the society and support a shift towards healthy and sustainable diets for all.

Abstract: The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to support multi-component, multi-disciplinary projects that address scientific questions relevant to AIDS prophylactic vaccine discovery research. Extensive evaluation of vaccine concepts in non-human primate models may be included. The HIV Vaccine Research and Design (HIVRAD) Program supports projects that address hypotheses crucial to the design of an efficacious HIV/AIDS prophylactic vaccine. An application submitted in response to this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) should include hypothesis-supporting data that the research has advanced past the exploratory stage, including preliminary immunogenicity to justify the vaccine candidate development; and the application should lay out a research plan with clear decision points. Preclinical evaluation of vaccine concepts in nonhuman primates and/or small animal models, such as transgenic humanized mice, may be included.
NIH - Mechanistic Research on Neuromodulation for Substance Use Disorders Treatment (R01 Basic Experimental Studies with Humans Required)
Funding Opportunity ID: RFA-DA-24-032
Upcoming deadlines: Full application - 16th January, 2024
Abstract: This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) seeks clinical research applications that propose to identify and validate new non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) e.g., Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Transcranial Direct or Alternating Current Stimulation targets for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and SUD-relevant neurobiological, cognitive, or behavioral response to NIBS that may precede clinical outcomes like reduced craving or substance use. Together these goals seek to provide a more complete understanding of the cognitive, behavioral, and neurobiological effects of neuromodulation. Such studies should lead to stronger mechanistic understanding of circuit-level dysfunction in SUD as well as indices of NIBS response that may precede long term clinical symptom relief.

Abstract: A major emphasis in the SCOR grant program is on clinical translation of scientific results. Ideally, a SCOR application will propose a combination of basic and translational laboratory research that will lead to eventual clinical translation. There should be clear and direct “bench to bedside” translational trajectory from one or more of the Projects in the SCOR. It is important to note that the inclusion of a clinical trial in and of itself may not satisfy this requirement. Any clinical translation must be a coherent and integrated extension of other SCOR activities, and there should be substantive interactions and synergy between clinical trials and more basic or early translational Projects in the SCOR. Each SCOR Program is comprised of 3-5 scientific Projects, 2-5 supportive Cores, including an administrative Core. There must be objective evidence of interdisciplinary research and the potential for synergism by linking the various Projects and Cores into a SCOR team. The quality and significance of the Projects and Cores and the enhanced productivity that is likely to be achieved by linking investigators are primary determinants of funding decisions. A SCOR team will be judged as a unit and funding will not be available for otherwise meritorious but non-synergistic parts of an application.
Alzheimer’s Association (AA), US - Funding Program for Global Real-World Data Platforms (ALZ-RWD)
Upcoming deadlines: LOI - continuous deadline; Full application - by invitation
Amount: Up to $1,000,000. Project length 12-24 months. Indirect costs are not covered by this grant.
Eligibility: Principal Investigators must hold a full-time faculty position or full-time paid position of the organization submitting the proposal. Investigators that have received Alzheimer’s Association funding for a related or other study and are currently delinquent in submitting required reports or have awards closed as “Incomplete” are not eligible to apply.
Abstract: The collection of Real-World Data (RWD) is integral to the discovery, evaluation and evolution of novel avenues for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and care of Alzheimer’s and other dementia. Furthermore, RWD can play a key role in the identification and understanding of health disparities, and the subsequent development and implementation of initiatives to advance health equity. RWD platforms house data on patient health status and health care collected within real-world settings. To support the advancement of and opportunities for RWD platforms, the Alzheimer’s Association is launching a peer-reviewed funding program to augment and accelerate global initiatives aimed at developing, expanding and aligning RWD platforms’ infrastructure, data and impact.
