8 April 2024-10 June 2024
Published on 09 April 2024
Launch of the 2nd PEPR MIE call for proposals
The ANRS Emerging Infectious Diseases (ANRS MIE) is launching the second call for proposals of the Priority Research Programme and Equipment on Emerging Infectious Diseases (PEPR EID), Measure 2 of the National Strategy for Accelerating Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) and Nuclear, Radiological, Biological and Chemical (NRBC) Threats supported by France 2030.
The 2024 AAP is a continuation of the 2023 AAP and targets the PEPR research components as follows :
- Component 1 – Accelerating the acquisition of knowledge on MIEs
- Component 2 – Organising and developing new treatments, vaccines and other prevention, diagnostic and surveillance tools for EIM
- Component 3 – Enabling public policies and society to cope with epidemic crises
The call is aimed at large-scale, interdisciplinary and multi-partner research projects lasting 2 to 3 years, with a minimum funding request of €1m for components 1 and 2. There is no minimum amount of funding for research projects submitted under component 3.
The AAP 2024 has an indicative budget of €13m.
A tighter scope
In order to concentrate research efforts and the resources made available under the 2024 Call for Proposals, the scope of the call for proposals has been narrowed, based on the list of priority pathogens drawn up earlier, to focus on three disease groups presenting a high risk of a health crisis in France:
- arboviruses,
- viral haemorrhagic fevers and
- respiratory viruses.
The PEPR MIE 2024 AAP covers aspects that are complementary to those targeted by the PEPR Prezode WP3, for which an AAP is also being launched in 2024.
In pratice
All the information relating to this call for proposals can be found in the text of the call for proposals and the financial regulations below.
