Find out the European Joint Programme (EJP) on Rare Diseases calls!
EJP fosters annual Joint Translational Calls, fund Networking Support Scheme and Rare Disease Research, find out the open and upcoming calls!
The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) brings over 130 institutions from 35 countries to create a comprehensive, sustainable ecosystem allowing a virtuous circle between research, care and medical innovation.
In the specific context of the massive generation, need for reuse and efficient interpretation of data, introduction of omics into care practice and the structuration of RD care centers in European Reference Networks, it is crutial to maximize the potential of already funded tools and programmes by supporting them further, scaling up, linking, and adapting them to the needs of end-users through implementation tests in real settings. For this reason, the EJP RD will
- Foster annual Joint Transnational Calls (JTC) for collaborative research projects resulting in funding encompassing various research fields of rare diseases in continuation of previous E-Rare calls.
- Open call on Pre-clinical Research to Develop Effective Therapies for Rare Diseases, until February 18th 2020
- Fund the Networking Support Scheme (NSS) to encourage sharing of knowledge on rare diseases and/or rare cancers between healthcare professionals, researchers, and patient advocacy organizations.
- Fund the Rare Diseases Research (RDR) Challenges which is an innovative funding scheme to foster private-public partnerships and multi-stakeholder collaborations.
In addition, a preliminary announcement has been launched for an internal call (open only for teams from institutions that are beneficiaries of the EJP RD project) on Clinical Trials Methodology Demonstration Projects to evaluate existing innovative statistical methodologies to improve RD clinical trials. The call will be opened February 1st 2020 with a deadline for submission of 1 page until March 15th 2020.
