Requisits
Author:
  • The sole first Author in the proposed publication. Shared first authorships is not considered for the award.
  • The Author must have been affiliated with a call partner country at the time of publication (list of eligible countries above).
  • Pre-doctoral and postdoctoral early career researchers until a maximum of three years from a PhD or an equivalent degree at the date of publication. (Equivalent degrees to the PhD may vary from a different country. A Medical degree alone is not sufficient. In addition, a minimum formation in research (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) is required or proof of an appointment that requires doctoral equivalency (e.g. post-doctoral fellowship, professorship appointment).
  • Eligible breaks include parental leaves, long-term illness, and national service. Concerning parental leave, national rules apply, or 12 months per child, whichever is the greatest.

    Publication:
  • Award period: published between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.
  • Affiliation of the sole first Author with a call partner country as stated in the publication.
  • Articles published in open access or available via open access publication repository is encouraged.
  • Original research articles published in an international peer review journal.
  • The topic of the article must be clearly relevant to disease-related bio-medical research, translational, neurosciences and, it must fall into one of the following two categories:
    - a) Fundamental research addressing mental health vulnerability and resilience including the pathogenesis, aetiology, progression, treatment, and prevention of mental diseases initiated by exposure to adverse environmental challenges. This may include the use of knowledge on neurobiological mechanisms for the development of innovative technologies with the potential to promote mental health, reduce the incidence of mental disorders, and improve clinical outcomes.
    - b) Clinical research addressing mental health vulnerability and resilience aiming to develop novel strategies for prevention, diagnosis, patient stratification, therapy and/or rehabilitation for mental diseases initiated by exposure to adverse environmental challenges. This may include research articles focusing on the identification of neurobiological targets to enhance resilience.
    • Dotació
    An award of EUR 3 000 will be granted to the best proposal. The winner will be invited as an “Excellent Paper in Neuroscience” special lecturer during the FENS Forum 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. ERA-NET NEURON will cover the award and travel costs related to the lecture.
    Documentació
    The on-line application must include the following two attachments in PDF format.
    1) Introduction (maximum of one page, minimum font size 11, Arial/Calibri/Times or comparable) including:
  • Application form (of the first author)
  • One-page short biosketch of the author
  • One-page summary addressing the significance of the work
  • A pitch of not more of 250 characters including spaces describing the research focus of the article and the applicant’s role in it.
    2) PDF of the original research article (published within the eligible award period)
