Característica
Objectiu de la convocatòria
Funding for interdisciplinary pre-clinical research projects based on complementarities and sharing of expertise, with a clear future benefit for patients, and focused on the development of effective therapies for rare diseases.
Característiques principals
Research proposals must cover at least one of the following areas:
1. Development of novel therapies in a preclinical setting (including small molecules, repurposing drugs, cell and gene advanced therapies) focusing on condition(s) with unmet medical needs
2. Use of disease models suitable for medicinal product’s development according to EMA guidelines
3. Development of predictive and pharmacodynamics (PD) biomarkers (with appropriate analytical methods e.g. OMICS) in a preclinical setting (e.g. in the validated model or in pre-collected human samples) for monitoring the efficiency of the therapy. The model chosen must mimic the human diseases and be transposable so that the biomarker identified in animals can be valid for humans
4. Proof of principle studies fostering an early (pre-clinical) stage of drug development (excluding interventional clinical trials of phase 1-4).

Requisits
Only transnational projects will be funded. Each consortium submitting a proposal must involve four to six eligible principal investigator partners. No more than two eligible partners from the same country can be present in each consortium (further national limits may apply). This limit applies to Early Career Researchers and partners from underrepresented countries (see below). PAOs requesting funding do not count toward this total.

The number of partners can be increased to 8 in two cases:
  • The inclusion of partners from participating countries usually underrepresented in projects (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, and Turkey).
  • The inclusion of Early Career Researchers as full partners
    • Dotació
    The funding depends on national/regional rules. For Spanish entities, up to € 250.000 for coordinators and € 175.000 for partners.
    Durada
    3 years
    Documentació
    There will be a two-stage submission procedure for joint applications: pre-proposals and full proposals.
  • Deadline for submitting the pre-proposals: February 18, 2020
  • Indicative deadline for submitting the full proposals: June 16, 2020
    • AVÍS IMPORTANT
    Whilst applications will be submitted jointly by applicants from several countries/regions, individual groups will be funded by the individual funding organisation of their country/region that is participating in the EJPRD JTC 2019. The applications are therefore subjected to eligibility criteria of individual funding organisations.
    Due to the complexity of the call, if you are interested in submitting an application we strongly recommend that you contact the Servei de Recerca well in advance of the deadline.
