ERDERA 2026 - Resolving unsolved cases in rare genetic and non-genetic diseases through variant validation and new technological approaches
The second ERDERA call aims at facing the challenges of diagnosis in rare diseases. Accurately diagnosing RDs is a major challenge, with approximately 50% of individuals with a suspected rare genetic condition remaining undiagnosed or misdiagnosed despite standard clinical genetics care. In addition, RDs of non-genetic origin - estimated to account for about 10% of all RD cases - remain an under-investigated area. On average, it takes around 5 years to establish an accurate diagnosis for people living with a RD (PLWRD). Given the complexity of these disorders, multiple and complementary diagnostic approaches are required. This complexity underpins the objectives of this call.
Call for proposals : Science avec et pour la société : Co-construire les politiques publiques par l’expertise scientifique (SAPS - CPPE 2026)
Originally intended to provide objective insight into issues and help decision-makers make informed choices, scientific expertise long relied on a clear separation between researchers — as knowledge producers — and public institutions responsible for action. These expert assessments, commissioned by public authorities, produce reports summarizing current knowledge on a given issue, territory, or population, often accompanied by syntheses for non-specialists and sometimes recommendations.
