NutriBrain Call out now!

The Partnership “Fostering a European Research Area for Health” (ERA4Health) brings the opportunity to increase European transnational collaborative research funding for Health and Well-being. Under this umbrella, the call for proposals “Modulation of brain ageing through nutrition and healthy lifestyle” (NutriBrain) is launched.

The aim of the call is to support transnational research projects that focus on the improvement of cognitive brain ageing through nutrition and other lifestyle factors.

Research projects should gain further insights into the modulation of brain aging by lifestyle factors and/or pilot test interventions based on the existing evidence in the literature or upscale existing pilot interventions that will help to lower the risk of cognitive impairment manifestations related to a pathological brain ageing.

At least one of the following lifestyle factors should be investigated: nutrition (particularly improvements in dietary pattern), physical activity, sleep pattern (quantity, quality and timing), social interaction and stress.

Researchers should apply a perspective of prevention and public health, taking into consideration large population groups such as age cohorts or relevant subgroups.
