Objectiu de la convocatòria
The aim of the E-Rare Joint Transnational Calls (JTCs) is to enable scientists in different countries to build an effective collaboration on a common interdisciplinary research project based on complementarities and sharing of expertise, with a clear translational research approach.

The research projects have to focus on the pre-clinical development of therapeutic approaches in suitable existing animal or cell models.

Projects shall involve a group of rare diseases or a single rare disease following the European definition i.e. a disease affecting not more than five in 10.000 persons in the European Community, EC associated states and Canada.

The research projects submitted within this call must be based on novel ideas stemming from consolidated previous results and must be clearly endowed with a strong translational research orientation, i.e. bench to bed studies allowing a rapid implementation into public health-related decisions or into the clinics.
Característiques principals
Therapeutic approaches can include:

a. Cell-based therapy (e.g. somatic cell therapy, cell-based regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, therapies based on combination of cells with scaffolds or substrates, etc.)
b. Gene therapy (e.g. transfer of nucleic acids for therapeutic purposes including DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides, etc.)
c. Pharmacological therapy (e.g. use of chemicals or biopharmaceuticals including repurposing approaches, high throughput screening of molecules, etc.)

The following approaches and topics are excluded from the scope of the call:

a. Therapeutic approaches concerning rare infectious diseases, rare cancers and rare adverse drug events in treatments of common diseases
b. Interventional clinical trials or any project enrolling patients
c. Development of new cell or animal models. The relevant cell or animal model must be already established for the purpose of the project
d. Surgery or radiation therapies

Requisits
Only transnational projects will be funded. Each consortium submitting a proposal must involve a minimum of three eligible and a maximum of six eligible partners from at least three different countries participating to the call (see list above). No more than two eligible partners from the same country participating in the call will be accepted in one consortium.

Applicants are encouraged to include partners from the participating Eastern European countries (Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Romania and Turkey). If they include such partners, the maximum number of eligible partners can be increased to seven or eight (see table below).

Additional partners that secure their own funding may join consortia. However, their number is limited to two. The consortium coordinator must always be eligible to receive funding from the funding organisations participating in the call.

Whilst applications will be submitted jointly by groups from several countries, individual groups will be funded by the individual E-Rare-3 funding organisation respective of the country from which applicants have applied. The applications are therefore subjected to eligibility criteria of individual funding organisations.

For Spanish applicants: please check the eligibility requirements of the institution and the principal investigator/team members, in pages 34-35 of the Guidelines.

Applicants are strongly advised to contact their national representative and confirm eligibility with their respective funding organisations in advance of submitting an application
Dotació
The funding depends on national/regional rules. For Spanish entities, up to € 150,000 for coordinators and € 100,000 for partners.
