Neurodegenerative Disease Research Joint Program 2024 Call is Open for Applications!

-A +A

The Joint Program for Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND) is a structure that organizes and manages a series of research programs active in the field of neurodegenerative disease research in Europe. Within the scope of the initiative in question, calls for projects are being opened to make neurodegenerative potential research more efficient and to increase the treatment capability.

 

In this context, research projects under the title of " Mechanisms and measurement of disease progression in the early phase of neurodegenerative diseases" will be supported in the JPND JPCOFUND-2 2024 call for international joint research projects (https://neurodegenerationresearch.eu/initiatives/annual-calls-for-propos...).

 

Submission deadline for pre-proposals to Call Secretariat: March 5 2024 (12:00, CET) (https://ptoutline.eu/app/jpnd2024)

Submission deadline for pre-proposals to TUBİTAK: 15 Mart 2024 (23:59, TSİ) (https://uidb-pbs.tubitak.gov.tr)

Submission deadline for full proposals: 25 Haziran 2024 (12:00, CET) (https://ptoutline.eu/app/jpnd2024)

 

TÜBİTAK application deadline for full proposals will be announced for our researchers who are successful in the second stage international scientific evaluation process.

 

Within the scope of the JPND JPCOFUND-2 2024, proposals submitted to this call must focus on one or several of the following neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease and PD‐related disorders , Prion diseases, Motor neuron diseases, Huntington’s disease, Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Proposals submitted under this call may include, but are not limited to, the following types of research:

  • Unraveling the influence of molecular, physiological, psychological and social factors and pathways on disease progression as well as discovering new factors and pathways;
  • Defining key regulatory steps affecting the disease onset and progression;
  • Combining molecular, psychological, social and physiological markers in order to increase the robustness of the diagnosis;
  • Harmonization of the use of novel technologies and clinical measures to increase reliability and reproducibility of disease detection and monitoring;
  • Identifying molecular, environmental, social and behavioral modulators of disease progression with the ultimate aim of determining risk, protective and resilience factors;
  • Examining pathological processes related to neurodegeneration by using Artificial Intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies to understand the role of mechanistic pathways;
  • Enhancing patient stratification by establishing measures and technologies to characterize clinical subgroups at pre-symptomatic stages, e.g. ‘risk phenotypes’ or ‘at-risk’ groups;
  • Identifying compensatory mechanisms associated to early stages of neurodegenerative diseases;
  • Systematically analyzing the influence of genetic, epigenetic and phenotypic variability underlying neurodegenerative diseases on disease progression.

 

Projects to be submitted to the call must meet the following criteria:

  • Each proposal must involve a minimum of three and a maximum of six regular partners, including the coordinator, from at least three different countries participating in this call. However, if the proposal involves at least one regular partner from an EU-13 country (Hungary, Latvia and Poland) or from Türkiye, the maximum number of regular partners is extended to seven.
  • For reasons of transnational balance, no more than two regular partners from the same country are allowed to join a proposal.
  • In addition, external collaborators (e.g., research groups from countries not participating in this call) may participate in proposals. External collaborators must secure their own funding. They must state in the proposal if these funds are already secured or how they plan to obtain funding.
  • Joint transnational research proposals can be funded for a period of up to three years.

 

Important information

Project proposals to be submitted from our country will be supported within the scope of TÜBİTAK 1071 Programme.

 

For projects involving partners from Türkiye, it is mandatory to apply to both the call secretariat and TÜBİTAK.

National project applications can only be made using electronic signature (e-signature) via the Project Application System (https://uidb-pbs.tubitak.gov.tr).

Before applying, national application rules must be examined in detail. If the application rules are not followed, the application may be returned without being evaluated.
