The European Partnership on Rare Diseases (ERDERA) has preannounced its first Joint Transnational Call for Proposals on Rare Disease Therapies. The content of the preannouncement may be subject to change.

The call will formally open on 10 December and will have a two-stage submission process with deadline for pre-proposals in February 2025 and full proposal deadline in July 2025.

Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) participates in this call. More information on available funding for researchers based in Flanders and on who can apply & how will become available on the FWO website after official opening of the call.

The primary objective of the call is to support interdisciplinary, transnational collaborations that leverage complementary expertise to develop new therapies for rare diseases. Research projects should focus on pre-clinical studies involving small molecules or biologicals. This could include the development of novel therapies, biomarkers for therapy efficiency, or replication of pre-clinical studies to validate findings.

More information is available on the ERDERA website.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
