ERDERA: Joint Transnational Call for Proposals on Rare Disease Therapies

The European Rare Diseases Research Alliance (ERDERA) is excited to announce the upcoming launch of its Joint Transnational Call (JTC) for Proposals 2025. This call invites research teams from across Europe and beyond to submit collaborative projects focused on “Pre-clinical therapy studies for rare diseases using small molecules and biologicals – development and validation”.

This JTC will build upon the significant progress made by previous European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) calls, with the aim of fostering international partnerships to develop innovative therapies for rare diseases. National and regional funding bodies from over 30 countries, including France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and all Baltic states, have expressed interest in participating.

Aim of the Call

The primary objective 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.

The maximum duration of the project is three years.

Application Timeline

The JTC 2025 will follow a two-stage submission process:

  • December 10, 2024: Call opens.
  • February 13, 2025: Pre-proposal submission deadline.
  • July 9, 2025: Full proposal submission deadline. Funding decisions are expected by December 2025.

Expected Outcome

Scope

Topics of Interest

Projects should address at least two of the following:

  • Development of novel therapies in a pre-clinical setting.
  • Creation and validation of predictive and pharmacodynamic biomarkers.
  • Replication of pre-clinical findings to enhance reliability.
  • Pre-clinical proof-of-concept studies for therapy readiness.

Please note, certain approaches, including ATMP therapies and clinical trials, are excluded from this call. Detailed eligibility criteria are outlined in the Call Guidelines.
