Horizon Europe Call for Proposals: Development of new effective therapies for rare diseases

This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination 3 “Tackling diseases and reducing disease burden”. To that end, proposals under this topic should aim for delivering results that are directed, tailored towards and contributing to some of the following expected outcomes:

• Researchers and developers make the best use of the state-of-the-art knowledge and resources for a fast and effective development of new therapies for rare diseases.
• Researchers and developers increase the development success rate of therapies for rare diseases by employing robust preclinical models, methods, technologies, validated biomarkers, reliable patient reported outcomes and/or innovative clinical trials designs.
• Developers and regulators move faster towards market approval of new therapies for rare diseases (with currently no approved treatment option) due to an increased number of interventions successfully tested in late stages of clinical development.
• Healthcare professionals and people living with a rare disease get access to new therapeutic interventions and/or orphan medicinal products.

This is the two-stage application. The deadline for the 1st stage is 1 February 2022. The deadline for the second stage is 6 September 2022.
