Pre - annoucement of PRISM Open Call for Proposals on paediatric multinational investigator-initiated clinical studies funded.
The Paediatric clinical Research Infrastructure Service Model (PRISM) project aims to transform paediatric clinical research in Europe and Canada by creating a coordinated, transnational ecosystem of experienced infrastructures and service organisations. PRISM will deliver high-quality, innovative and sustainable clinical research support tailored for children and young people.
Funded under Horizon Europe (GA101292607), PRISM is a European consortium coordinated by ECRIN bringing together 23 key stakeholders from both Europe and Canada.
A first open call will be launched for Proposals on paediatric multinational investigator-initiated clinical studies funded. PRISM will select, according to a two-stage procedure, pilot paediatric clinical studies with the objective to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end support for multinational investigator-initiated studies conducted in 3 to 6 countries in Europe and Canada.
Here are the key deadlines:
- Mid-September 2026: official launch of the Call
- Mid-December 2026: deadline for Letters of Intent
Eligible projects include pragmatic comparative effectiveness trials, optimisation studies, repurposing trials or observational studies in any disease area except cancer and rare diseases.
Short-listed projects will get support from the PRISM consortium during the design and planning of the full application. Following final assessment, selected projects will receive funding covering the cost of investigation and trial coordination, and multinational trial management services provided by the PRISM consortium.
