Purpose The ENW-XS category is specifically intended to encourage curiosity-driven and bold research that involves the relatively rapid exploration of a promising idea. At the end of the ENW-XS project, researchers can decide for themselves whether or not to pursue this new line of research any further. One way in which this can be done is to submit a proposal within another funding programme in the Open Competition Domain Science (ENW-M and ENW-XL) or elsewhere. Criteria Postdocs (can request their own salary) Project costs 50 K (min 6, max 12 months) Total budget: ...

Purpose The aim is to enable an interdisciplinary approach to prevention and treatment of kidney graft failure. Interdisciplinary projects focus on research leading to biomedical breakthroughs. The social aspects (e.g. economic and ethical aspects, inclusivity, communication, behaviour and autonomy of users) are an integral part of the approach. This will improve the transplant survival and thus life expectancy and quality of life of kidney transplant patients. In the future, more patients on the waiting list will have timely access to kidney transplantation. Criteria Applicant and co-applicants, 10% co-funding Budget 1.332.888 M€ (min 4yr, max...

Purpose The aim of the NWA-ORC 2024 call for proposals is to encourage research that is set up and carried out by interdisciplinary consortia that include representatives from the full breadth of the knowledge chain as well as relevant societal (public and/or private) partners, including citizens. The research will address problems, focused on themes that are proposed by NWA-route networks (based on 140 cluster questions) Themes: Route Personalized medicine: Disease, individual, and environment: the importance of mutual interactions across two or more pathologies, and the differences per individual. Route Regenerative medicine: The...

Enjoy this Science Story of Massimo Mastrangeli’s organ-on-a-chip devices
Associate professor Massimo Mastrangeli is the embodiment of enthusiasm for scientific research. He specifically exudes passion for his own field, namely that of organs-on-chip. “What I would like people to know about this field of research? That it’s amazing!”, exclaims Massimo. “An organ-on-chip is a (micro)chip that contains human tissues or cells. It allows the tissue to feel “at home”, because the chip replicates aspects that the cells need, like artificial blood vessels that provide the cells with nutrients and oxygen, and stimulation through electricity, for example. Organs-on-chip allow us to deepen our knowledge of the human physiology, and can...
