Call for Proposals for Multinational and Translational Research Projects on Bidirectional Brain-Body Interactions
This call for projects will primarily fund studies with the potential to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying body-brain interactions in the context of their implications for brain health and disease, including associated co-morbidities, and also research proposals with the aim of developing intervention approaches aimed at normalising deregulated body-brain communication, provided that they are based on known or hypothetical neural mechanisms.
Research proposals must cover at least one of the following areas:
- Fundamental research into the role of bidirectional interaction between the body and the brain in the pathogenesis and/or aetiology of neurological and psychiatric diseases. This may include the development of innovative or shared resources and technologies aimed at normalising deregulated body-brain communication.
- Clinical research to develop new strategies for prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation procedures for diseases in which altered body-brain communication is a relevant pathological process
- Selection
- List of selected projects
The consortium must involve a minimum of 3 partners working in 3 different countries and participating in this call (see call text).
