ISIDORE – CALLS FOR PROPOSALS
RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS: A large number of pathogens target the human respiratory tract, resulting in a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations including life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). While serious respiratory infections are predominantly caused by RNA viruses, other types of pathogens can be involved. The modes of transmission of respiratory pathogens often give them a significant epidemic potential.
The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in these respiratory pathogens.
Researchers are invited to submit any proposal that Is focused on at least one eligible respiratory pathogen, excluding SARS-CoV-2 (see below and full ISIDORe PPP list).
VECTOR-BORNE PATHOGENS & THEIR VECTORS: The geographic and host ranges of vector-borne diseases are expanding, mostly due to anthropogenic factors. With rising temperatures and changing weather patterns, the risk of these diseases affecting increasingly large areas of the world will continue to rise, as reflected by the record number cases of dengue (including non-imported ones) and West Nile virus observed in Europe in 2022.
The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in the causative agents and vectors of these fast-spreading diseases.
Researchers are invited to submit any proposal that Is focused on at least one eligible vector-borne pathogen (see below and full ISIDORe PPP list).
OTHER PATHOGENS WITH EPIDEMIC POTENTIAL: Will the next global infectious threat be an orthopoxvirus, or an enterovirus? Will it be even caused by a known pathogen? Can we be ready for the next pathogen
The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in epidemic-prone pathogens, including pathogen X.
Researchers are invited to submit any proposal that Is focused on pathogen X or at least one of the three pathogen classes specifically identified in this call.

ISIDORE – CALLS FOR PROPOSALS
RISK GROUP 4 PATHOGENS: Risk Group 4 (RG4) pathogens usually cause serious human or animal disease and can be readily transmitted from one individual to another, directly or indirectly. Effective treatment and preventive measures are not usually available.
The ISIDORe consortium supports scientists with an interest in these pathogens with high individual and community risk.Researchers are invited to submit any proposal that:
Can be advanced by access to at least one of our services,
Falls under one of the following sections (see SCOPE), andIs focused on at least one eligible RG4 pathogen (see below and full ISIDORe PPP list).
Supports the early-stage development of radically new technologies, with the potential to create new markets and/or address global challenges, based on innovative high-risk, high-benefit research from science to technology (TRLs 1 to 4).

ERA-NET NEURON JTC 2024 “RECIPROCAL INTERACTION BETWEEN THE BRAIN AND THE BODY”
Objective of the transnational ERA NET NEURON initiative:
Facilitate multinational, collaborative research projects that address critical clinical and translational questions to improve our knowledge of the role of reciprocal interactions between the central nervous system and the body in the genesis and progression of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Prevent and treat: A better understanding of these interactions has the potential to discover solutions for the prevention and treatment of these disorders.

HORIZON EUROPE – ENHANCING THE EUROPEAN R&I SYSTEM
ERC-2024-POC: The ERC Proof of Concept Grants aim at facilitating exploration of the commercial and social innovation potential of ERC funded research and are therefore available 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 150.000 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.

JOINT PROGRAMMING INITIATIVE ON ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE (JPIAMR)
Call framed in the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR – Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance), which aims to coordinate the efforts made, from the different associated countries, in the field of antimicrobial resistance.
The call will be co-financed by the European Commission and different financing agencies of the participating countries or regions. In the case of Spain, Instituto de Salud Carlos III will be the financier of the Spanish groups participating in the projects.
Specifically, the call will finance transnational research projects for the development of innovative strategies, tools, technologies and methods for the diagnosis and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance.
