Interested researchers are invited to submit their pre-proposals for the National Research Programme by 14 March 2024.
Submission deadline: 14.03.2024
The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) is launching a call for the National Research Programme "Gender Medicine and Health" (NRP 83) based on a mandate from the Federal Council.
NRP 83 aims to provide a knowledge base for an evidence-based implementation of sex/gender aspects in health research, medicine and public health in Switzerland.
It strives to (a) produce context-sensitive and transdisciplinary knowledge to understand sex/gender-related aspects in health; (b) improve and adapt clinical practice to include sex/gender specificities; and to (c) integrate a gender mainstreaming approach as an elemental part of the health system.
By calling for research projects and through coordinated activities, the programme sets out to bring about a change in practice in Switzerland.
Further information is available on the SNSF website.
In order to harmonize the submission of projects from UNIL members, PlaGe (Plateforme interfacultaire en études genre de l'UNIL) - in collaboration with UNISANTE and FTSR - is coordinating the submission of project outlines. All those interested in the NCCR83 are invited to participate in two online meetings, on January 18, 2024 from 12pm-2pm and on January 30, 2024 from 12pm-2pm. The aim of these meetings is to identify projects and people interested in NRP83 in order to create synergies.
