2024 JADS Research Call: Health Resilience in a Changing Environment

Together with our flagship partner Imperial College London, TUM is proud to announce the call for the 2024 cohort of the prestigious Joint Academy of Doctoral Studies (JADS). This year, we are focusing on "Health Resilience in a Changing Environment", inviting joint project proposals from PIs at Imperial and TUM.

The 2024 JADS call represents an excellent opportunity for PIs to engage in high-impact research while contributing to the cultivation of the next generation of researchers. Doctoral candidates participating in JADS will experience a rich academic environment, characterized by joint supervision, interdisciplinary coursework, and the opportunity to be part of an international research community. Successful projects will receive comprehensive support, including scholarships, mobility allowances, and funding for consumables, to facilitate high-quality doctoral research.

Eligibility and Application: Principal Investigators (PIs) at TUM and Imperial are invited to jointly put forward a research project to be underpinned by 1 doctoral candidate at TUM and 1 doctoral candidate at Imperial, starting in October 2024, which includes joint supervision plans and a built-in mobility programme. Up to five collaborative research projects will be supported. Projects must be interdisciplinary, collaborative, and align with the theme of health resilience. We encourage applications from researchers across all disciplines who are interested in contributing to this vital field of study. Proposals should leverage the combined strengths of our institutions to develop new insights and approaches to health resilience. We seek projects that help develop e.g.:

  • An understanding of molecular and cellular human responses to a changing environment
  • Personalised interventions to enhance health resilience
  • Informed policy making in public health and transition to zero pollution based on trends and patterns identified through population, health, environmental, climate and other large datasets
  • The integration of digital health tools and technologies that improve health and wellbeing in an evolving world.

For more details on the application process, funding arrangements, and program benefits, please visit the guidance document and application form for the call here. TUM PIs are invited to apply together with their Imperial counterparts for up to 2 awards. The deadline for proposals is 15.04.2024. In order to submit your application, please use this online application form.
