The Partnership “Fostering a European Research Area for Health” (ERA4Health) aims at establishing a flexible and effective coordination between funding organisations in the European Research Area (ERA) in priority areas addressing European Public Health Needs.

This Partnership brings the opportunity to increase European transnational collaborative research funding by creating a funding body for joint programming. Under this umbrella, ERA4Health is glad to pre-announce the launch of a first Joint Transnational Call (JTC) in multi-country Investigator-Initiated Clinical Studies (IICS) on “Fostering Pragmatic Comparative-Effectiveness Trials in Non-communicable Diseases” (EffecTrial).

The aims of the call are:

• To support randomised, interventional and pragmatic comparative-effectiveness multi-country Investigator-Initiated Clinical Studies (IICS).
• To encourage and enable transnational collaboration between clinical/public health research teams (from hospital/ public health, healthcare settings and other healthcare organisations) that conduct comparative-effectiveness multi-country IICS.

The project duration is 48 months and it is co-funded by Horizon Europe.

📅 Upcoming Info Day: 27 November from 14h30–16h30 CET (details coming soon).
