HORIZON EUROPE – JOINT GLOBAL HEALTH INITIATIVE EDCTP3

The second work program of the Joint Global Health Initiative EDCTP3 (European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership) takes into account the priorities defined in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. It is based on input from the Scientific Committee and partners of the Joint Global Health Initiative EDCTP3.

The EDCTP exists to accelerate the clinical development of new or improved health technologies for the identification, treatment and prevention of neglected and poverty-related infectious diseases, including (re)emerging diseases, particularly those affecting Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). ). In addition, the EDCTP funds activities to develop research capacity in Africa, supporting the networking and careers of researchers and strengthening national health research systems. In addition, the association facilitates the alignment of public and private funders around a common Strategic Agenda for Research and Innovation.

HORIZON EUROPE – ERC PROOF OF CONCEPT GRANT (ERC-2023-POC)
 
The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research, by funding further work (ie activities which were not scheduled to be funded by the original ERC frontier research grant) to verify the innovation potential of ideas arising from ERC funded projects. Proof of Concept Grants are therefore on offer only to Principal Investigators whose proposals draw substantially on their ERC funded research.

The financial contribution will be awarded as a lump sum of EUR 150 for a period of 18 months. The ERC expects that, normally, proof of concept activities should be completed within 12 months. However, to allow for those projects that require more preparation time, the grant agreements will be signed for 18 months. Extensions of the duration of proof of concept projects may be granted only exceptionally. The lump sum will cover the beneficiaries' direct and indirect eligible costs for the project: if the project is implemented properly, the amounts will be paid regardless of the costs actually incurred. The lump sum has been designed to cover the beneficiaries' personnel costs, subcontracting, purchase costs, other cost categories, and indirect costs.

All Principal Investigators in an ongoing ERC main grant or in an ERC main grant that has ended less than 12 months before 1 January 2023, are eligible to apply for an ERC Proof of Concept Grant.

For further information please see the ERC Work Program 2023.
