Objectiu de la convocatòria


ERA PerMed is an ERA-Net Cofund, supported by 31 partners of 22 countries and cofunded by the European Commission. It aims to align national research strategies and funding activities, promote excellence, reinforce the competitiveness of European players in PM, and enhance the European collaboration with non-EU countries.

 

Característiques principals


The overall aim of the call is to fund projects showing clinical feasibility of PM in complex/multifactorial diseases as well as other diseases (such as monogenic, rare diseases and cancer). Feasibility is intended to mean the demonstration of significant and clinically relevant improvement of current diagnostics and/or therapeutics, based on improved understanding of underlying molecular mechanisms. Furthermore, applicants are expected to combine pre-clinical and/or clinical research with bio-informatics components to enable data quality on one side and the potential applicability for health care providers on the other side. This should be based on methods that are possible to use in and/or be further developed for clinical, general practice and public health settings. This should be based on methods that are possible to use in and/or be further developed for clinical, general practice and public health settings. This may involve validation of known biomarkers, interoperable data solutions and software for decision support for healthcare providers.

    •  

     

    Joint research proposals may be submitted by applicants belonging to one of the following categories (according to national/regional regulations of the funding organizations, please see “Guidelines for applicants”):

    A. Academia (research teams working in universities, other higher education institutions) or research institutes;

    B. Clinical/public health sector (research teams working in hospitals/public health and/or other health care settings and health organisations). Participation of medical doctors in the research teams is encouraged;

    C. (Industry) Private partners, e.g. SMEs15 (small and medium-size enterprises). We strongly encourage that the consortia submitting applications to this call include partners coming from different categories to follow the crosscutting/multidisciplinarity character of the call, allowing the integration of partners from different levels of the value chain.
