Networking to combat Antimicrobial Resistance stimulated
The Joint Programming Initiative on antimicrobial resistance (JPIAMR) supports networks to design and implement ways to support AMR research that considers at least one of the six strategic areas of the JPIAMR Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. In February, the 10th call; ‘JPIAMR Network Plus 2020’ has opened. Its aim is to support networks that develop and implement activities focusing on AMR within the domains of Human health, Animal health and the Environment. Networks are encouraged to bridge multiple One Health areas as needed, and to consider the incorporation of their activities within the JPIAMR-Virtual Research Institute (JPIAMR-VRI). The total budget is around EUR 940,000. Available funding per network is EUR 50,000-100,000 per year for one to two years and should be invested to connect experts from research performing organisations and establish expertise clusters in the AMR community. Networks may build upon new or existing global collaborations/partnerships. The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development (ZonMw), is one of the funding partners. Deadline for submission of proposals is April 6th.
More information including the call documents, is available on the JPIAMR website.
