European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) – Joint Transnational Call 2020

Call: “Pre-clinical research to develop effective therapies for rare diseases"

 

Aim

To build a collaboration (4-6 eligible principal investigator partners) on a common interdisciplinary research project based on complementarities and sharing of expertise, with a clear benefit for patients.

 

Topic

•         Development of novel therapies in a preclinical setting (including small molecules, repurposing drugs, cell and gene advanced therapies)
•         Use of disease models suitable for medicinal product’s development
•         Development of predictive and pharmacodynamics (PD) biomarkers in a preclinical setting
•         Proof of principle studies fostering an early (pre-clinical) stage of drug development

Submission deadlines
Pre-proposal: 12 February 2020
Full proposal: 16 June 2020
