Calls For Proposals
 
ERA-CVD: European Research Area Network on Cardiovascular Diseases- Pre-proposals

The Israel Ministry of Health and The ERA-NET on Cardiovascular Diseases  have published a call on the following topic:
"Mechanisms of early atherosclerosis and/or plaque instability in Coronary Artery Disease".
 
Each proposal must consider the following cross-sectional aspects:
• An interdisciplinary approach: e.g., integrating biomedicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics, systems biology and clinical medicine for the development of the applications;
• Research on sex/gender differences in order to give further mechanistic insights into the development of the disease, its progression and to identify the difference in treatment responses;
• Translational research approach/perspective.
 
The research proposals must be built on effective collaboration between the different research participants from different countries.  Project proposals must clearly demonstrate  the potential scientific impact as well as the added value of transnational collaboration: sharing of resources (models, databases, diagnosis etc.), harmonisation of data, sharing of specific know-how and/or innovative  technologies, etc.
