Research

Funding organisation:

Koning Boudewijnstichting

What?

The King Baudouin Foundation (KBS) & the Belgian Heart Fund have opened 4 joint calls for research in cardiology:

Basic research in cardiology: This research encompasses scientific disciplines such as biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology and their interplay and involves laboratory studies with cell cultures, animal studies or physiological experiments. Patients are not in the centre of the study but biological samples (e.g. blood) can be used for this purpose. Budget 20.000 EUR
Clinical research in cardiology: The research must be centered on the patients and aimed to determine the role of medication, intervention, diagnosis, symptoms or prevention in the physiological or pathological processes of the cardiovascular system. Budget 20.000 EUR
Multicentre randomised clinical trial: The research must be centered on the patients and aimed to explore the benefit of interventions (medical or non-medical) in patients with cardiovascular disease. The research should have a multicentre study design with randomisation between intervention and control. The research has to be carried out in 2, or more Belgian institutions. Budget 100.000 EUR
Prize Dr. Léon Dumont for research in cardiology: is a legacy offered to the Belgian Society of cardiology to award research excellence. This Prize concerns basic or clinical research in the field of cardiovascular pathologies. It is intended as a recognition for realized research in cardiology and an encouragement to continue research in this field. Budget 40.000 EUR

 

Who?

The Basic and Clinical Research calls are open to researchers employed for more than 2 years in an academic centre, a university hospital or non-university hospital in Belgium. Project leaders of selected project should be a Member of the Belgian Society of Cardiology.

The applicant should be the principle investigator of the project. Project leaders of selected project should be a member of the Belgian Society of Cardiology for the project's duration.

The Prize Dr. Léon Dumont is open to European researchers in cardiovascular medicine, working in a member country of the European Society of Cardiology (see www.escardio.org for the list of countries). Candidates must be actively engaged in research and may not be older than 50 years on 31st December 2023.
