Ref.: (LML) Dioraphte 2020 - 2021 call all for research proposals on skin-relatedNeglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs).
From: Bouke de Jong, Antwerpen, Belgium
Dear Dr. Schreuder and colleagues,
Dioraphite, a private charitable Foundation established in the Netherlands, has established a fully funded research programme for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) with a specific focus on Skin NTDs (www.dioraphte.nl).
This is a call for research proposals on skin-related Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). CfP-NTD2021DIORAPHTE. The Dioraphte Foundation has decided to continue its support for translational and clinical experimental research that underpins the understanding of pathophysiology and pathogenesis of Skin-related NTDs.
The scope includes clinically driven basic research questions that precede clinical trials for improved drugs, treatments, diagnostics or vaccines. Transdisciplinary approaches to research studies designed to be embedded in endemic clinical settings are encouraged.
In this 2nd call for research proposals on the Foundation will give priority to five areas:
- (i) Immunology, pathophysiology, pathogenesis, or metabolic processes during infection that could lead to improved drugs, treatments, diagnostics or vaccines.
- (ii) Improved experimental or population models of skin infection to support research into improved drugs, treatments, diagnostics or vaccines.
- (iii) Innovative approaches to the discovery and development of drugs, diagnostics or vaccines.
- (iv) Underlying pathology in diverse endemic populations that determines variation in response to diagnostics, drugs or vaccines.
- (v) Role of skin commensals and co-infections in disease.
Proposals linking groups that have expertise in NTDs to those with expertise in skin research, in academic, public or private sectors, are encouraged.
In this 2nd call for 20211.7 million euros will be available to fund 2-4 proposals. Proposals should be for 2 to 4 years with a maximum budget of 850,000 Euros.
