WWTF: Life Sciences Call 2017

Chemical Biology 2017 is the 10th project call within the Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) Life Sciences Programme. It invites researchers and scientists at universities and non-university research institutions in Vienna, including those moving to Vienna, who want to conduct a cutting-edge research project (2 to 4 years) at the chemistry-biology interface using small molecules to understand and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision. Proposals may include mechanistic studies, development of new chemical or biological tools/techniques, and applied molecular studies (biological and medical). Proposals do not have to include a translational aspect. Proposals should bring together scientists from different scientific disciplines such as chemistry, biological and related biomedical disciplines to foster interactive partnerships across Vienna. A total of 4.5 million Euro will be dedicated to this call. The funding range per project is 200,000 to 700,000 Euro. This is a two stage call: Short proposals have to be submitted by 270417. Full proposals have to be submitted by 180817. All interested parties are cordially invited to an open Proposers’ Day and Matchmaking Event on 080317, starting at 2 pm, at Albert Schweitzer Haus, Schwarzspanierstraße 13, 1090 Wien.
