Joint Programming Neurodegenerative Disease

International Cooperation


JPcofuND2

Presentation

On 20 November 2018 JPND announced a new ERA-NET Cofund project, JPcofuND2, established under the European framework programme for investigation and innovation H2020, which continues the work of the JPcofuND project (2014-2019) and other activities pursued by the European joint programming initiative on neurodegenerative diseases research (for more information please check JPND's page in FCT's website).

JPcofuND2 is implemented between 2019 and 2023, and its major activities are:

  • organising a call with both national and European funds (see below) and four additional calls without European funds;
  • communicating/disseminating activities and initiatives of JPcofuND 2 through two symposia;
  • monitoring and evaluating the impact of JPcofuND 2 actions.

The following countries are part of JPcofuND 2: France; Finland; Canada*; Israel; Germany; Portugal (FCT and Regional Fund for Science and Technology of the Azores); Austria; Luxembourg; Belgium; Ireland; Denmark; Spain; Czech Republic; Italy; Slovenia; United Kingdom; Poland; Hungary; Norway; Switzerland; Sweden; Turkey; Latvia; Netherlands. *does not receive EC funding

Please check JPcofuND2's CTC 2022 call text for detailed information on participating countries, aim of the call, management, eligibility, funding regulation and application, among other relevant information.

For more information, please check call documentation, national documentation and relevant links in the yellow box on the right.


Call Topics

Proposals must focus on one or several of the following neurodegenerative diseases:

  • Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
  • Parkinson’s disease and PD‐related disorders
  • Prion diseases
  • Motor neuron diseases
  • Huntington’s disease
  • Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
  • Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)

Participating Countries

See the list of participating countries on the JPcofuND2 CTC 2022 page.


How to Apply

  • Please check call documentation and national documentation available in the yellow box on the right.
  • Check the national or regional rules of the countries participating in your consortium (including Portuguese), available through the Country-specific information link. Partners that are considered non-eligible may result in the rejection of the entire consortium.
  • Complete the pre-proposal template and the proposal submission tool, available on the call page.
  • Up to 10 working days after the deadline for submission of pre-proposals, Portuguese teams (coordinators and/or partners) must send the following statement of commitment to the National Contact Point for the call, duly signed by the Researcher in Charge and by the legal representative of the Proposing Institution and stamped. The original must be kept, as it may be requested by the FCT.

Funding Commitment (Portugal only)

FCT's funding commitment for JPcofuND2's CTC 2022: €150,000.00 (one hundred and fifty thousand Euros).

Note: if more than one Portuguese institution participates in a given consortium, the budget has to be shared. Portuguese institutions must follow FCT's Legislation, Regulations and Norms. The dedication (FTE) in transnational projects is not taken into account for the 100% (FTE) dedication to national projects.


Applicable Regulation (Portugal only)

The regulation applicable to projects to be funded by FCT is the Regulation on Projects Funded Solely by National Funds.

Previous joint calls

JPcofuND2 Joint Transnational Call 2021: "LINKING PRE-DIAGNOSIS DISTURBANCES OF PHYSIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS TO NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES”

JPcofuND2 Joint Transnational Call 2021 supported a number of ambitious, innovative, multi-disciplinary and multi-national collaborative research projects that aimed at identifying and measuring physiological effects and related biomarkers that could be linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as enhancing the understanding of causal underlying cellular, molecular, metabolic, inflammatory or other systemic processes.

Proposals focused on one or more of the following neurodegenerative diseases:

  • Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias
  • Parkinson’s disease and PD‐related disorders
  • Prion diseases
  • Motor neuron diseases
  • Huntington's disease
  • Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
  • Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA)

Twenty-three national and regional agencies from JPND countries participated in the competition.

You can find more information about this contest on the call page on the JPND website.
