  • Horizon 2020 Funding --- FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FROM THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
Topics on computer modelling in health are included in the program “Health, demographic changes and wellbeing”, especially the PHC 30 and PHC 28. They will be called in 2015. Other topics are for sure interesting for the modelling community, as for ex. PHC 26 on mhealth and apps, or PHC on bioinformatics, etc., in 2014.
The call 2014 is open and the deadline will be 15th of April for the topics with evaluation in one stage and 11th of March, if 2 stages (19 August for the second phase of the evaluation).
In these calls, the US partners can participate and be reimbursed. Of course a good motivation is needed, but this is a big difference with the previous calls.
Here is the link to the calls 2014-2015: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/home.html

  • Bridging the Gap Between Cancer Mechanism and Population Science (U01)
NCI, NIAAA
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage applications for projects that bridge biological mechanism to population level scales. By incorporating insights and data from one end of the cancer research spectrum into the framework of the other, projects should be able to cross-validate data gathered at different scales, and explore links between basic biology, population science, and potential health applications in treatment, prevention, diagnosis, and/or screening. Proposed projects should pose a challenging cancer research question that can be addressed by connecting these two ends of the research spectrum that would be difficult to address or explain through biological or epidemiological investigation alone. Only a single cohesive project integrating aspects from these two areas is allowed in each application.
