Press release: New research reveals hidden health risks from everyday objects
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) are chemicals found in everyday products that can interfere with and damage the human hormonal system. That is why the Center RECETOX of Masaryk University has joined the European research project ENDOMIX, coordinated by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) in Germany. The project officially started on 1 January, and its main objective is to provide comprehensive information on how exposure to these substances affects human health and to provide recommendations on how to avoid these chemicals as much as possible to minimize health risks.

The GACR plans to launch the following calls probrably at the end of February 2024. If you are interested in submitting a project proposal please contact Monika Kellnerová. The announcement of the call for proposals will be announced in the GO newsletter.
Standard Projects - Proposals for basic research projects with a usual duration of 3 years. All researchers and their teams are eligible to apply, regardless of the length of their career. It is not thematically defined.
Junior Star – Project proposals by excellent early career scientists and women scientists up to 8 years after completing their Ph.D. in all areas of basic research will be supported. Project proposals with a typical duration of 5 years and a total budget of CZK 25 million.
POSTDOC INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIP - Supports male and female researchers who have completed their PhD in the last four years. It can be used in two ways - either as an exit grant, which will allow scientists from Czech institutions to conduct research for two years at a prestigious research institute in the world with the condition of one additional year spent at the institute in the Czech Republic, or as an arrival grant, thanks to which a Czech postdoctoral researcher will be able to return to the Czech Republic, or a foreign scientist or scientist to start a career at a Czech institute.
International calls - project proposals involving scientific teams from the Czech Republic and a partner country. Cooperation with the following countries is expected this year:
- Tchaj-wan – National Science and Technology Council (NSTC)
- South Korea – National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF)
- São Paulo, Brazílie – São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP)
