Internationally collaborative basic, translational, and clinical research in cardiovascular and neurovascular disease involving two network coordinators from different continents.

The International Networks of Excellence in Cardiovascular and Neurovascular Research Program, (formerly the Transatlantic Networks of Excellence in Cardiovascular and Neurovascular Research Program) fosters outstanding and innovative scientific research by bringing together international teams of researchers with complementary expertise and resources to work together on a common thematic problem. The proposals should aim to generate new knowledge with the potential to advance the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of cardiovascular and/or neurovascular disease. Early career investigators play a vital role in these networks, which provide an excellent context for training and career development in cardiovascular and neurovascular research.

Duration

5 years

Funding

Up to $ 7,500,000

Each network is built around an international research alliance involving two network coordinators, who must be located on different continents.
Each network includes other network members (the principal investigators who make up the network). At a minimum, a Leducq network should have three institutional members. As a general recommendation, the total number of institutions should not be greater than six.
There are restrictions for participation in other proposals or networks. Please see section III of the Program Description.

Applicants to the Transatlantic Networks Program must submit a letter of intent (LOI) through the web-based application service managed by Altum proposalCENTRAL by September 7th, 2021:
