The ERAPerMed network, in which the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) is a partner, is launching a joint transnational call for proposals to support research in the field of personalised medicine.
Objectives
Overall objectives of the ERAPerMed program (i) to support translational research projects in the field of Personalised Medicine; (ii) to encourage and enable interdisciplinary collaborations towards implementation of PM, in combining pre-clinical or clinical research with bio-informatics components as well as ELSA research or implementation research, including health economics; (iii) to encourage collaboration between academia (research teams from universities, higher education institutions, public research institutions, research centres), clinical/public health research (research teams from hospital/ public health, healthcare settings and other healthcare organisations), private partners e.g. SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) as well as policy makers, regulatory/HTA agencies and patient organisations.
- preventive measures decreasing the rate of incidence (primary prevention),
- early detection to increase the efficacy of a preventive therapy, even before symptoms are developed (secondary prevention), and
- interventions preventing disease recurrence or improving patients’ care and quality of life (tertiary prevention).
Proposals must be interdisciplinary and clearly demonstrate the potential impact in Personalised Medicine as well as the added value of transnational collaboration. Each proposal MUST address at least One (1) Module out of each Research Area. At least, Three (3) modules will have to be addressed in total.
