InSPIRES Open Call

The InSPIRES project launches an open call for funding participatory research projects. This InSPIRES Open Call will provide financial support for the implementation of participatory research projects focused on health and environmental issues that are considered key societal challenges, giving special attention to gender parity and vulnerable groups – women, the elderly, adolescents, migrants and refugees­­­­. As a result of this competitive Open Call, approximately six grants will be awarded for implementing participatory research project and the maximum estimated budget for each project is 20,000 euros. The projects need to be designed and implemented with methodologies aligned with Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), Open Science and Impact Evaluation, including innovative models and methodologies such as participatory research agenda setting with CSOs (Civil Society Organisations) and other stakeholders, and also methodologies for the co-design and the co-implementation of research projects.  Applicants are asked to send the complete Application Form and the CV of the project manager or principal investigator by June 15th to rmalagrida@irsicaixa.es with cc mpinoc@irsicaixa.es.  Here you can find more information on the call: http://inspiresproject.com/isgnews/inspires-open-call-for-funding-participatory-research-projects/
