In accordance with the guidelines of the Lombardy Region (National Health Research Program 2024-2026), with this call for proposals, FRRB aims to identify and reward innovative biomedical research projects that will enable the consolidation of the independent careers of the researchers involved. Project proposals must highlight the possibility of providing results that can in turn be reused as a basis for more complex and structured projects, with rapid impact and transfer potential to the Regional Health System, taking into account ethical and social implications.
The thematic areas identified by the Call are:
a) PSYCHIATRY AND NEUROPSYCHOLOGY
b) IMMUNOLOGY
c) INFECTIOUS DISEASES
d) REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE
The Call for Proposals is open to Italian or foreign researchers who wish to develop a research project at an institution belonging to the Regional Health System (ASST, IRCCS, ATS, AREU, University, or research organization) based in Lombardy. The institution that will manage the funding must guarantee the researcher and his or her research group the best conditions for the successful completion of the project.
Maximum contribution: €1,000,000.00 per individual project lasting 36 months.
All information on the requirements for participation can be found in the text of the call for proposals and the documents attached to it in the “Documents to download” section.
