To take action against the growing global threat of increased spread of antimicrobial
(antibacterial and antifungal) resistance by funding international collaborative research projects
aiming to improve, compare and evaluate the effectiveness, cost effectiveness, and uptake of
existing interventions against bacterial or fungal infections and/or to design new interventions
against fungal infections.
2.1 Topics of the call
Proposals should address one of the two topics of the call:
Topic 1:
Design novel or improved interventions to prevent, mitigate and /or treat fungal infections,
which are resistant to treatments and/or are at risk of developing resistance
Topic 2:
Improve and/or, compare and/or evaluate strategies, technologies, treatments,
methods, protocols or data collection based on existing interventions, aiming to
prevent or reduce the emergence or spread of antibacterial or antifungal resistance or
to treat/cure infections caused by resistant bacteria/fungi and recommend new policies.
Within this topic, projects should address one or more of the following subtopics:
a) Improve and/or compare and/ or evaluate the effectiveness of existing interventions
(e.g. cost effectiveness, clinical utility, socio-economic adaptability, reducing AMR
emergence, spread, transmission, treatment etc.)
b) Identify the barriers to uptake, including factors leading to the success or failure of
previously run pilot interventions, and when applicable design solutions to overcome
them.
The novel interventions for Topic 1 may include, but are not limited to: prevention strategies,
treatments based on new or existing compounds or technologies, improved or novel diagnostics
or surveillance
The prevention and/or mitigation interventions for Topic 2 may include, but are not limited to:
• Treatment (e.g. wastewater, medical, technological etc.),
• protocols
• Social, societal and behavioural intervention (e.g. public awareness campaigns,
provider audit and feedback, reimbursement penalties, prescription requirements,
infection prevention and control programmes),
• Stewardship efforts (e.g. antimicrobial or vaccination guidelines).
These interventions may use technological, digital, or AI based approaches.
In the framework of this call, proposals may focus within any individual One Health setting and
are encouraged to include more than one OH setting when possible.
For all topics: Reuse and/or improvement of the quality and sustainability of existing data is
encouraged.
Call Text 17th JPIAMR transnational call for research projects within the ERA-NET JPIAMR ACTION 4
For any project applying for funding to support a clinical study, please check the National Rules
and Requirements (Annex B) to see if clinical studies are eligible for funding by the relevant
national funding partner organizations (FPOs).
Companies are welcome to apply to this call either by requesting funding or by using other
internal or external funding. The eligibility of companies for funding from this call
is determined by the relevant national FPO. Please check the National Rules and Requirements
(Annex B) to see the eligibility for funding.
The following sub-topics are out of the scope of the call:
• Antivirals and antiparasitics
• Proposals solely aiming to treat plant or animal infections without link to human
health
• Proposals solely aiming to extend existing or implement new surveillance systems
2.2 One Health settings
The call covers the following One Health settings:
• Human Health;
• Animal Health (including wildlife, livestock, aquatic organisms, and companion
animals);
• Plants (including trees and crops);
• Environment (including natural and built environment).
The eligibility of the considered One Health setting may depend on your funding organisation.
Please check the National Rules and Requirements (Annex B) to see if the One Health setting
of interest is eligible for funding.
2.3 Type of studies/experimental approaches
In the framework of this call all types of studies or experimental approaches are admissible,
however, the eligibility of the proposed experimental approach may depend on your national
funding organisation. Please check the National Rules and Requirements (Annex B) to see if the
type of study/experimental approach of your choice is eligible for funding.
Participation of the end-users of expected project outcomes, such as parties implementing
antimicrobial stewardship activities, is encouraged
