Promoting research

We are opening the international call for applications for the Ignacio H. de Larramendi Research Grants to promote projects carried out by individual researchers or research teams, within the academic and professional spheres, who carry out their work independently or within the framework of a university, hospital, company or research center to which they are affiliated, and whose object of study is related to health promotion or insurance and social protection.

Through this initiative, Fundación MAPFRE supports research because we firmly believe that it is the best way to improve the quality of life of the people who make up our society.

The research projects related to health promotion have a maximum gross endowment of 30,000 euros per grant, and must explore one of the following topics:

• Strategies and education to change habits: prevention of obesity, and the promotion of physical activity and emotional well-being (including the appropriate use of new technologies).
• Emergency response training for the general population.
• Assessment of bodily harm: assessment of the consequences of an event (traumatic or accidental, medical negligence, aggression or disease) on the health of the individual and its repercussions on the essential activities of ordinary life and other specific activities of personal development (pain and suffering, loss of quality of life).
• Health management: clinical quality and safety.
• Longevity and how lifestyle influences this.

The endowment for projects related to insurance and social protection will be a maximum gross amount of 15,000 euros, for studies aimed at exploring the following topics:

• Insurance.
• Risk management.
• New technologies in the insurance field.
• Social protection: pensions, savings, investment, asset liquidation and the Silver Economy (longevity economics).

The deadline to apply for these grants will be open from June 14 to October 7, 2024 (until 11:59 p.m., Spanish time UTC+2).
