NEWMEDS Novel Methods leading to New Medications in Depression and Schizophrenia

Coordinator: H. LUNDBECK AS (DK)

Despite dramatic advances in molecular and imaging technologies and nearly 1 5,000 articles on schizophrenia and depression (S&D) there are few novel treatments. We think this is because of three major “bottle-necks”: a lack of etiologically-driven or pathophysiologically-accurate animal models; a lack of tests that provide indication of efficacy in healthy volunteers; and the reliance of clinical trials on DSM categories which provide a collection of biologically heterogeneous patients. Our broad working hypothesis is that a focus on cross-species endophenotypes, testing in healthy volunteer…

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €9.0M toward a total project budget of €24.8M — a funding rate of 36%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5.5 years from 2009-09-01 to 2015-02-28.
