The ERC Consolidator Grants are designed to support excellent Principal Investigators at the career stage at which they may still be consolidating their own independent research team or programme. Principal Investigators must demonstrate the ground-breaking nature, ambition and feasibility of their scientific proposal.

This competitive grant program is part of Pfizer's ongoing commitment to translate scientific discoveries into innovative medicines for patients with cardiovascular disease. It aims to support basic science, pre-clinical research, and clinical research that advances medical knowledge and clinical knowledge of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) pathophysiology, co-morbidities associated with the disease and innovative approaches to diagnose, manage and treat NASH as well as support academic research development of promising emerging and established scientists around the globe.

In the framework of the 5th call for proposal can be submitted proposal focused on the following topics: - Topic 1: Improved prediction, detection, and treatment approaches for comprehensive stroke management; - Topic 2: Development and proof of principle of new clinical applications of theranostics solutions; - Topic 3: Maximising the potential of synthetic data generation in healthcare applications; - Topic 4: Accelerating the implementation of New Approach Methodologies and other innovative non-animal approaches for the development, testing and production of health technologies.

MSCA Staff Exchanges promote innovative international, inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary collaboration in research and innovation through exchanging staff and sharing knowledge and ideas at all stages of the innovation chain. The scheme fosters a shared culture of research and innovation that welcomes and rewards creativity and entrepreneurship and helps turn ideas into innovative products, services or processes. It is open to research, technical, administrative and managerial staff supporting R&I activities.
