The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD), the successor of E-Rare, launches the Joint Transnational Call 2019 (JTC2019). The official opening of the call will be in December.
32 funding agencies from 23 different countries together with the European Commission will fund the research projects selected. The research proposals are expected to be on the following topic: Transnational research projects to accelerate diagnosis and/or explore disease progression and mechanisms of rare diseases.
There will be a two-stage submission procedure for joint applications: pre-proposals and full proposals. The call is scheduled to open on December 14, 2018. The deadline for submitting the pre-proposals is scheduled for February 14, 2019. An independent international Scientific Evaluation Committee will carry out a scientific evaluation according to specific evaluation criteria stated in the call guideline. Based on this central evaluation, selected consortia will be invited to submit a full proposal by early May 2019 (deadline for full proposals: June 11, 2019).
