EDITORIAL 

FCT has recently published its 2013 funding schemes and almost simultaneously the Exploratory Research Projects. This funding scheme reflects the transition period between the current National Strategic Reference Framework (QREN 2007-2013) and the European Strategic Framework (2014-2020).

The full implementation of EU funds available for Science & Technology obtained in the QREN strategic rescheduling in 2012 should be completed at the latest, by the end of 2015.
Throughout June, having these two premises in mind, CINTESIS researchers should be particularly aware of research funding opportunities such as:
- Preparation projects of the EIT (Active and Healthy Ageing Innovation), which intends to promote the integration of Portuguese teams in the European Institute of Technology;
- Harvard Medical Schools programs;
- Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Individual Fellowships;
- Advanced Training in Clinical Research - Medical Interns PhD students.

In addition, research units are going to submit an application for funding. As a result, senior researchers are encouraged to propose and organize specific research lines in order to enhance CINTESIS competiveness.
