Objectiu de la convocatòria
The main objective of the Joint Action "Intestinal Microbiomics" is to support multidisciplinary transnational research consortia using innovative and scientific approaches to increase knowledge on:
1. The short-term and long-term functional effects of diet, dietary patterns and dietary constituents on human intestinal microbiota.
2. The functional impact of diet-related variations in the intestinal microbiota on human health and/or the development of non-communicable chronic disease.
The overall vision is to develop dietary interventions or guidance for modulation of the intestinal microbiome to promote health and/or prevent the development of non-communicable chronic diseases. The program should generate new knowledge to support health maintenance and/or new treatments.

Requisits
Only transnational projects will be funded:
  • each consortium must involve research groups from at least three different countries that are participating in the call.
  • each consortium must involve a minimum of three partners and a maximum of eight partners.
  • for reasons of transnational balance, no more than two partners from the same country are allowed to join the consortium.
  • Research groups from countries that do not participate in the Joint Action “Intestinal Microbiomics” (i.e., collaborators) may participate in projects if they are able to secure their own funding. They must state clearly in the proposal that funds are secured in advance of the project start. However, the majority of research groups in a consortium and the coordinator must be from countries participating in the Joint Action and the total number of partners in the consortium must not exceed eight.

    Please note: Inclusion of non-eligible partners in a proposal may result in the rejection of the entire proposal without further review. While applications will be submitted by the coordinator, the individual research groups will be funded by the funding organisation from their country/region that is participating in the JPI HDHL. The applications are therefore subject to eligibility criteria of national/regional funding organisations. Applicants should refer to Annex I of the call text, containing all the specific national/regional eligibility criteria and should contact their respective national/regional funding organisation contact points for additional clarification.
  • Requisits
    Spanish Eligibility Criteria:
  • MINECO:
  • Universities, Public Research Institutions, Technological Centers, and other Private non-profit Institutions performing RDI activities in Spain.
  • Eligible applicants must hold a Doctoral degree and have experience as principal investigators (PI) in projects funded by the Plan Nacional I+D+I 2008-2011 and/or the Plan Estatal I+D+I 2013-2016 in programmes managed by the Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica (DGICT), MINECO.
  • The projects mainly aimed at clinical or epidemiological research are not eligible for funding from DGICT.
  • Once the transnational evaluation procedure has been completed and the researchers involved have been notified, the Spanish applicants that are offered funding will be invited to formally apply to the call of Programa Estatal de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación Orientada a los Retos de la Sociedad (modality Acciones de Programación Conjunta Internacional APCIN 2016).
  • MINECO will avoid double funding and will not finance projects or parts of projects that have been funded through other national, ERA-NET, JPI or EU calls.
  • The same PI is not allowed to apply for funding in more than one proposal of this call, and will be allowed to submit only one proposal to the national APCIN 2016 call.
  • PIs granted through the APCIN 2015 call will not be allowed to apply for funding through the APCIN 2016 call, independently of the international programme in which the proposal is included.
  • PIs granted through APCIN 2016 will not be eligible to apply to another APCIN call, (or to the national instrument designed for funding international actions by the DGCIT), until two thirds of the project duration has been completed.
  • Important: Applicants must confirm their eligibility by sending their personal and institutional information to the NCP by 14th April 2015.
  • Dotació
    • Maximum requested funding is 150.000 € per partner (200.000 € per project coordinator). When more than one Spanish partner participate in the same proposal, the maximum funding of the Spanish part should not exceed 250.000 € per project.

  • Only additional (marginal) cost will be eligible.
  • Direct costs: including personnel costs for temporary contracts (fellowships are not eligible) and other costs (consumables, small equipment, use of research infrastructures or services, travel and mobility costs, organization of consortium meetings, etc.; according to national call regulations.
  • Indirect costs (overheads) are not eligible for funding in this programme.
  • Durada
