One Health interventions to prevent or reduce the development and transmission of antimicrobial resistance (JPIAMR_HARISSA)

The French National Research Agency, in partnership with twenty countries (Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom) is launching the thirteenth call for proposals under the umbrella of the JPIAMR. The initiative aims to promote international research on antimicrobial resistance. The global budget for this action will be over thirty millions of euros (including a financial support from the European Commission and from three funding organizations-SIDA, ICARS, IDRC- promoting research actions in low and middle-income countries).

The aim of the present call is to understand the impact of interventions on the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance and to design, implement, evaluate, and compare interventions that will have a true impact on preventing or reducing the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance. Proposals should include a One-Health strategy: proposals should address at least two of the One-Health settings (human, animal, and environment).

The consortia must be composed by at least 3 partners eligible for funding coming from at least three different countries, including two European countries or associate. The maximum number of partners allowed (including non-funded partner) is 6 (7 only if the consortium includes a partner coming from either low and middle income countries, or from Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland). The budget of the non-funded partners shall not exceed 30% of the total requested budget. Furthermore, consortia should always consist of a majority of project partners eligible for funding. ANR will only fund the French partners of the selected projects. Selected projects will be initially funded for a period of up to three years. A detailed description of the eligibility requirements can be found on the JPIAMR Website.
