Applications for research support under the Research Funding Scheme of the Lisbon Academic Clinical Centre (CCAL), of which the NOVA National School of Public Health (NOVA NSPH) is a member, are open until 15 September.
A total of €36,000 is available for allocation to the following types of projects: research publication – up to €2,500; small-scale projects – up to €5,000; use of the NMS Biobank – up to €2,000.
This year’s support scheme includes several updates compared to previous editions, namely:
- Funding for publications is now available on a rolling basis and not subject to evaluation by a selection panel. Half of this funding must be allocated exclusively to researchers affiliated with CCAL members based at the ULSs of Médio Tejo, Lezíria, Estuário do Tejo, and Litoral Alentejano;
- The application period has been extended to allow researchers more time to prepare their proposals.
In recent years, CCAL has seen a 50% increase in applications and has tripled the number of grants awarded.
Applications can be submitted via a form available on the CCAL website, under the “Support for my research” section, accessible here.
Please consult all application conditions.
