The EU Joint Programme – Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) initiative has launched a transnational call for health and social care research with a focus on the moderate and late stages of neurodegenerative diseases. Forte contributes with 15 million SEK to the call.
Objectives of the call
JPND launches this joint transnational call for proposals with the aim to improve the well-being of people with neurodegenerative diseases through social sciences and humanities research. More specifically, proposals will aim to increase understanding of the factors that hamper social inclusion, civic participation, dignity and quality of life of patients and their families and to develop more adequate concepts of easily accessible support for people with neurodegenerative diseases at moderate, advanced and end of life stages.
About the grant
In this call it is possible to apply for projects with a maximum of three years duration.
The call is a collaboration with 17 countries. Each country funds its own participants in the international consortia. Each consortium must consist of parties from at least three different countries and a maximum of two participants from the same country. There can be a maximum of six parties in a consortium, but if the application involves at least one party from an EU-13 country (Hungary, Latvia, and Poland) or from Turkey, the maximum number of parties is increased to seven
