Towards precision medicine: platform for transdiagnostic stratification of brain dysfunction

Funds one large data platform that identifies shared biological markers for reward, motivation and impulsivity symptoms across Alzheimer's, depression, obesity and related disorders.

This is a two-stage Research and Innovation Action: the short first-stage proposal is capped at 20 pages, and the full second-stage proposal, open only to those invited forward, is capped at 50 pages. Legal entities established in the UK or Canada are eligible to receive funding on this topic, an exception the IHI JU has written in specifically for this call. Consortia must meet the IHI's own addi…

This topic wants a multimodal data platform that identifies transdiagnostic candidate biomarkers and endpoints for reward/motivation and impulsivity symptoms, spanning priority areas of Alzheimer's disease, major depressive disorder and obesity, plus related conditions such as substance-use disorder, schizophrenia and Parkinson's. It wants those markers pushed toward regulatory and health-technology-assessment validation, not just discovered.
