Call for Proposals for "European Research Projects on External Insults to the Nervous System"

Basic Information

Network	NEURON Cofund
Website	https://www.neuron-eranet.eu/en/639.php
Aim of the joint call	The aim of the call is to facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that will address important questions relating to external insults to the central nervous system. These insults often cause permanent disability and constitute a heavy burden for patients and their families. The call will accept proposals ranging from understanding basic mechanisms of disease through proof-of-concept clinical studies in humans to neurorehabilitation. The focus of the call is on primary physical insults to the central nervous system, i.e. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The call covers acute traumatic events over the entire lifespan.
