The SNSF is participating in the European Partnership ERA4Health call. The topic is modulation of brain ageing through nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Swiss-based researchers can apply
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 ageing by lifestyle factors. Researchers can also make 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 pathological brain ageing.
At least one of the following lifestyle factors should be investigated:
- nutrition (particularly improvements in dietary patterns)
- physical activity
- sleep patterns (quantity, quality and timing)
- social interaction and stress
Researchers should apply a perspective of prevention and public health. In addition, they should take into consideration large population groups such as age cohorts or relevant subgroups.
