Technical Boost in Neuroscience 2021

“TB GRANT”

NeuroMarseille institute wishes to promote scientific exchanges and encourage the emergence of collaborative projects within Marseille’s neuroscience community.

The institute constitutes a component of Aix-Marseille University (AMU) supported by AMIDEX funding. The use of funding is therefore governed by AMIDEX financial rules and subject to evaluation.

In this context, NeuroMarseille institute opens a call titled “Technical Boost in Neuroscience”, in order to encourage a new collaboration between one researcher/engineer and a technical platform (not belonging to the same laboratory/UMR). Only one application per team to this call is allowed.

Each project will be granted up to 10 k€ over a period of 12 months to cover the platform services. 

Eligibility Criteria

Applicant:

Researchers (CR, MCU, DR, Pr, PU) and Engineers (AI, IE, IR), member of a research team affiliated to NeuroMarseille can apply to this call.

Research program:

In both cases, the applicant(s) and his/her team, must not have already used the requested platform. The evaluated criteria will be: the first use of the platform by the applicant(s), the real added-value of the use of the platform, the program feasibility (equipment of the platform, collaborations, personnel involved, etc.), and the scientific quality of the project as well as of the participants.

Eligible expenses:

Only platform fees will be covered. A detailed budget of the service should be provided.
