BrainHealth Partnership: Call for Proposals

The European BrainHealth Partnership is launching a call for multinational, translational research projects aimed at improving brain health, with a focus on neurological, mental and sensory disorders. Brain disorders are a major global cause of disability and mortality, posing profound challenges for those affected as well as for their families, communities, and caregivers. The European Partnership for Brain Health (EP BrainHealth) brings together 54 partners from 33 countries with the common goal to improve brain health for all by developing scientific knowledge as a foundation to promote lifelong brain health, to prevent and to cure brain diseases, and to improve the wellbeing of people living with neurological and mental disorders in Europe and beyond. Applications must be interdisciplinary and address at least two of three factors impacting brain health trajectories: biological factors, lifestyle and social factors, and environmental factors. Applications must also investigate at least two aspects including mechanisms of action, early recognition/diagnosis/prognosis, and prevention/treatments/interventions. The call emphasizes outcomes benefiting quality of life for patients and carers, and encourages focus on disability, gender, ethical, cultural and socio-economic aspects.
