Thematic Research Project – PDR-THEMA
The PDR-THEMA is an instrument for financing 3-year single- or multi-university research projects, led by a main promoter.
This instrument provides for the participation of one or more co-promoters, including co-promoters outside the Wallonia-Brussels Federation.
As part of a PDR-THEMA, eligible costs are of 3 types: personnel, operation and equipment.
Transfers between categories during projects are authorized upon notification to the F.R.S.-FNRS.
The amount that can be requested varies depending on the theme and is included in the mini-guide for each PDR-THEMA call.
PDR-THEMA - Cardiovascular diseases
This call aims to fund 3-year research projects focusing on cardiovascular diseases in the broad sense. The F.R.S.-FNRS does not impose any additional thematic constraints and the jury must, if necessary, decide on the eligibility of a project whose subject seems to move away from this framework. All scientific approaches are eligible: molecular biology, public health, modeling, clinical studies, preclinical studies, medical engineering, etc.
