European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) Call for Proposals 2020- Pre Annoucement

PRE-CLINICAL RESEARCH TO DEVELOP EFFECTIVE THERAPIES FOR RARE DISEASES

The Ministry of Health and the European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) have published a  Call o n the following topics:   
  • Development of novel therapies in a preclinical setting (including small molecules, repurposing drugs, cell and gene advanced therapies) focusing on condition(s) with unmet medical needs
  • Use of disease models suitable for medicinal product's development according to EMA guidelines
  • Development of predictive and pharmacodynamics (PD) biomarkers (with appropriate analytical methods e.g. OMICS) in a preclinical setting (e.g. in the validated model or in pre-collected human samples) for monitoring the efficiency of the therapy. The model chosen must mimic the human diseases and be transposable so that the biomarker identified in animals can be valid for humans
  • Proof of principle studies fostering an early (pre-clinical) stage of drug development (excluding interventional clinical trials of phase 1-4).

Note: Only transnational projects will be funded. Each consortium submitting a proposal must involve four to six eligible principal investigator partners.  


The call is scheduled to open on December 13, 2019.

Deadline for Pre-proposal is scheduled for February 12, 2020

Israel Ministry of Defense - Mafat

Unfamiliar Multirotor Drones - Detection Capabilities   

Call Reminder and Deadline Extension  


The Israel Ministry of Defense (MAFAT) has published a call for proposals for the detection capabilities of unknown new types of multirotor drones.

The area of defense against drones is in a continuous race with the drones' capabilities and with the expanding technologies. These abilities, although generally civilian, are a potential security threat to the State of Israel. 

The purpose of this call is to promote the technological challenge and the innovative solution that will provide an adequate answer to the threat of the multirotor drones.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) 

The Ken Griffin Alpha-synuclein Imaging Competition


The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) funds research to define, measure and treat Parkinson’s disease as well as critical tools and other resources to advance that research. The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to develop imaging markers for utilization in clinical trials.
The Ken Griffin Alpha-synuclein Imaging Competition seeks to accelerate work to develop a selective alpha-synuclein PET tracer. The ability to image alpha-synuclein deposition in the brain would be a game-changing achievement in the field of Parkinson’s disease (PD).  
MJFF encourages multidisciplinary teams to apply to this program and is particularly interested in collaborations between academic and industrial  groups that have access to diverse compound libraries.
