The Spanish Health Research Fund will finance 27 IDIBELL research projects

The Instituto de Salud Carlos III has issued a preliminary determination of the grant program in Health Research Projects of the Health Research Fund (FIS), corresponding to the call of 2011. The 27 IDIBELL selected projects will receive three million 400 000 Euros over the next four years.

FIS is intended to fund health research projects which may be completed as projects aimed at translational research consolidated groups in health (Intrasalud) or as general research projects.

IDIBELL submitted 65 projects, 27 have been accepted, representing over 40% of applications. The 27 projects receiving funding FIS are:
