Appel à projet équipement 2022-23

The research topics addressed by this call for proposals :

• Should preferably fall within one of the three priority areas guiding the actions of C-BRAINS: 

Axis 1: Genetic approaches to the study of the brain

Axis 2: Quantitative approaches to the exploration of behavior and cognition

Axis 3: Data analysis, computational modeling and artificial intelligence.

•  They may be associated with one of the two structuring initiatives set up by the C-BRAINS DIM in the form of networks of scientific and technological platforms: 

1- Organoids and human cells

2- Human and animal cognition in real and virtual environments

If you wish to submit a project within the framework of the structuring initiatives, we recommend that you contact the steering committees of each of these platform networks, in order to ensure the coordination and integration of applications.

Each equipment project submitted to the C-BRAINS DIM must therefore :

- either be integrated into one of the structuring initiatives listed on the C-BRAINS IMG website, which are exclusively dedicated to regional networks of technological and scientific platforms; or - be submitted individually as part of the generic call for projects.

Particular attention will be paid to the federative and structuring character of the equipment request, for the local or regional community. 

As such, it must involve several clearly identified Ile-de-France teams. The conditions for pooling the equipment and its contribution to the existing local or regional community must also be specified. 

NB: If several projects are submitted by one or more teams from the same research center or unit, the director of the center or unit must specify the descending order of priority of the requests.  

The ranking of the projects will be carried out by the Scientific Council of the DIM C-BRAINS.

The selection of projects to be funded will be based on this ranking and will be made by the C-BRAINS Executive Committee.

The closing date of this call is Friday, February 17, 2023 at midnight.

Any project received incomplete will be considered ineligible and only projects submitted before the deadline will be considered.
