Research Organization
Research in the Neuroscience Campus Amsterdam is organized in 10 research programs. Each research program is caried out by a team of collaborating principle investigators (PI’s) orginating from different faculties and working on interdisciplinary research programs. Within each research program, collaborating PI’s are organized in a socalled program-committee, being chaired by two program-leaders coming from two different fields of research (and/or faculties).
The role of the program-committee is to:
- describe and regularly update the overall research aim, objectives and research approach of the research program
- perform bench-marking of research activities in the international context
- provide cohesion and a strong collaboration platform for intracampus research activities aimed (and routed) along the main research ambitions of the Neuroscience Campus Amsterdam
- identify young talent, promising research ideas and novel methodology
- lent professional intervision feedback of grant applications of younger colleagues, in addition to collaborative grants in the national or international context. In many cases this feedback will be given before the application deadline (so as to improve the success-rate of the grant applications), in other cases feedback will be given in parallel (so as to improve the complementary character and approach of individual projects)
- perform midterm feedback on individual PhD- and postdoc- projects
- identify and collaborate with valuble affiliated bodies (patient clinics, business) and research organizations (both national and international)
- identify and describe individual research-project questions that need to be answered through datagathering/research support/analysis delivered by the (activities in) research support facilities (see Support Facilities).
