Funding is essential to carry out research activity of good quality. This page will alert you on possible sources, expecially for younger talented people: you are encouraged to explore the ECNP Research Grant for Young Scientists !!! 

SUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS 

The Italian Ministry of Health funds biomedical research by young "under 40" researchers. A grant application by EMMA's younger people has been selected by the referee panel and assignement of funds is now pending. EMMA is pleased to announce that its website will serve as a support to divulge the advancement of this program, called "ADHD-sythe", during years 2009-2011. Thus, you can track the recent activities on 1) innovative animal models and novel medication for ADHD, and 2) innovative biomarker-based diagnosis and brain imaging (MR+NIR screening) in ADHD children, from the "Areas Covered" section (look below !!!) of this website .   

UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICATIONS 

The European FP7 launched a call for ERC - starting independent research - ... as always, EMMA's younger people application has been rejected!

The Compagnia di San Paolo, an italian bank foundation, funds biomedical research in the field of neurosciences. A grant application filed to this program has been REJECTED. It would have given the concrete opportunity to study animal models of ADHD, and innovative blood screening in ADHD children.

The NARSAD, a leading charity in the US, funds basic and clinical neuropsychiatry research by young investigators. A grant application filed to this program has been REJECTED. It would have given the concrete opportunity to study innovative animal models of ADHD, incl. MR screening.  

PENDING APPLICATIONS  

The ERA-NET PRIOMEDCHILD (Priority Medicines For Children) is a partnership between research funding organizations from some EU countries to bring coherence and cooperation to national research programmes and policies on research on Priority Medicines for Children. Joining this program would give more opportunity to study new animal models of ADHD/depression, and innovative biomarker screening in ADHD/depressed children.  

In the PRIOMEDCHILD Joint Call researchers can apply for research grants in international consortia. There will be a two-stage application procedure (pre-proposals and full proposals). The deadline for submitting the pre-proposals and full proposals is OVER (January-June 2010). The Joint Call details can be found in the Preliminary Announcement.

 APPLICATIONS  UNDER PREPARATION

There is a consortium under formation to meet a Call from FP7 on Tourette Syndrome.
