The FIS – Italian Fund for Science – is a programme managed by the MUR – Ministry of Universities and Research – created to fund and promote fundamental research of the highest quality in Italy, in accordance with established European practices based on the model of the ERC – European Research Council. The FIS comprises three main funding streams, differentiated according to the experience of the Principal Investigator (PI), for research projects of high scientific merit:FIS Starting Grant, for early-career researchersFIS Consolidator Grant, for established researchersFIS Advanced Grant, for established researchers FIS Starting Grant Stefano Volpi EDIMMUNE – Combining gene editing and iPS to study and treat monogenic autoinflammatory diseases Niccolò Morelli DIAMETROIT – Diachronic analysis of social structure in Italian Metropolitan Areas: a comparative-historical research and open access database for urban studies Paola Lova LOOP – Fluoride Recovery from Persistent Fluoroalkyl Pollutants with Tandem Solar Paints Davide Cerasa DeCoD – Divide et Impera: Decoding Clonal Competition to Drive Glioma Therapy Michele Magnozzi LANCET – Lowering the optical absorption in coating materials for cryogenic mirrors in Einsten Telescope Marcello Scala MULTI-ASD – Multidimensional platform to investigate human genes associated with autism spectrum disorders Bernardo Zan QFTLand – New pathways in the landscape of quantum field theory: symmetries and extended operators at unitarity and beyond FIS Consolidator Grant Federico Locardi DELPHI – Design of persistent luminescence nanocrystals for round-the-clock photovoltaic FIS Advanced Grant Maria Matilde Inglese REPAIR – Tissue recovery and plasticity after CNS inflammatory-demyelinating relapses Vittorio Murino Controlling Generative Artificial Intelligence Further reading Page dedicated to FIS 1 – Ministerial Decree 841: Italian Science FundPage dedicated to FIS 2Page dedicated to FIS 3Ministry website
