The Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), in collaboration with the Agency for Clinical Research and Biomedical Innovation (AICIB) open a special funding, “RESEARCH 4 COVID-19”, to R&D projects and initiatives that respond to the needs of the National Health Service (SNS) as a response to the current and future pandemics in a very short time horizon.
Given the urgency, projects of rapid implementation (maximum 3 months of development) will be supported. The maximum funding limit for each project is 30 thousand euros, mainly to complement ongoing initiatives and to reorient existing teams.
Applications will have two phases, the first of which will run from March 24 until 5:00 pm, Lisbon time, on April 5, 2020.
