Launch of the 3rd PEPR MIE call for projects
The ANRS Emerging Infectious Diseases is launching the third call for proposals of the Priority Research Programme and Equipment on Emerging Infectious Diseases (PEPR MIE), Measure 2 of the National Strategy for Accelerating Emerging Infectious Diseases and Nuclear, Radiological, Biological and Chemical (SA MIE MN) Threats supported by France 2030.
Following the success of the calls for proposals launched in 2023 and 2024, which respectively funded 11 projects for €22M and 9 projects for €16M, this call for proposals follows on from these calls and targets the three founding strands of the PEPR MIE:
- Workpackage 1 – Accelerating the acquisition of knowledge on emerging infectious diseases
- Workpackage 2 – Organising and developing new treatments, vaccines and other prevention, diagnostic and surveillance tools for emerging infectious diseases
- Workpackage 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 workpackages 1 and 2. There is no minimum amount of funding for research projects submitted under workpackage 3.
The AAP 2025 has an indicative budget of €16M.
Scope
As with the 2024 Call for Proposals, the 2025 Call for Proposals envisages a closer focus on three categories of emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases presenting a high risk of a health crisis in France :
- arboviruses,
- viral haemorrhagic fevers and
- respiratory viruses.
