NANBIOSIS opens in February the 1st competitive open call 2023 for its “Cutting-Edge Biomedical Solutions” and services.
NANBIOSIS is a Research Infrastructure for Biomedicine made up of the Platforms of the Center for Centro de Ivesntigación Biomedica en Red (CIBER- in the area of Bioengineering, Biomaterials, and Nanomedicine -CIBER-BBN), the Preclinical Infrastructure and the Development of Minimally Invasive Technologies, of the Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Center (CCMIJU) and the Nanoimaging unit of the Biomedical Research Institute of Malaga-Nanomedicine Platform (IBIMA-BIONAND Platform).
NANBIOSIS as part of the Spanish Map of ICTS (an acronym for “Scientific and Technical Unique Infrastructures” in Spanish), approved by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, is open to all interested national and international users who may come either from the public or the private sector, and who can apply for access under the “Competitive Open Access” or “Access on Demand” modalities.
The 20% of the NANBIOSIS Units’ capacity will be granted on the Competitive Open Access modality and will be prioritized according to criteria of scientific and technical quality and singularity of the proposals.
There will be 2 calls per year for open and competitive access that will allow the prioritisation of the best service proposals. Here you have the details of the first call: https://www.nanbiosis.es/call/
The call will open on February 1 and applications can be submitted throughout the whole month (due date February 28th). Access application forms submitted after that date will be processed as “access on demand” applications.
Proposals granted in the open and competitive access modality must meet, at least, one of the circumstances listed in the access application form (“order request“), in order to demmonstrate their scientifc and technical quality or singularity.
Thus, for example, applications related to R&D projects funded through national or European calls are eligible, as well as the need to carry out one of the NANBIOSIS “Cutting-Edge Biomedical Solutions” that implies the interaction of several Units, among others.
