The São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) make public a new call for proposals for the support of research projects within the scope of the scientific cooperation agreement between the institutions.
The aim of this call is to strengthen research cooperation between researchers in the State of São Paulo and researchers in the Netherlands by funding joint projects in “Data-driven research on Sports and Healthy Living".
The call focusses on three main themes: 1) Data Science and Bioinformatics; 2) Sports: Performance and Technology; 3) Healthy Living and Prevention: physical activity, regular exercise and a healthy sustainable environment.
To researchers in the State of São Paulo, the big data theme brings a new and interesting challenge in research on sports and healthy living and matches well FAPESP’s strategy envisioned through the foundation’s e-Science Special Program.
Project proposals must be jointly written by researchers associated to research institutions in the State of Sao Paulo and in the Netherlands and must reflect unison and close cooperation.
Requested funding may cover research and travel expenses, according to each institution’s guidelines. A total budget of approximately € 4.0 million is jointly made available.
In the State of São Paulo, proposals must be submitted by researchers formally associated with public or private Higher Education or Research Institutions in the State of São Paulo, to FAPESP as Regular Research Projects, Thematic Research Projects or Young Investigator Awards.
The deadline of this call for proposals is June 30, 2016. Researchers from the state of São Paulo, must consult FAPESP about their eligibility no later than June, 13th.
