Πρόσκληση για υποβολή προτάσεων IMI-CALL-2013-9 (καταληκτική ημερομηνία 9η Οκτωβρίου 2013).
Συνοπτική περιγραφή:
The Innovative Medicines Initiative Joint Undertaking (IMI JU) is a unique pan-European public private partnership between the European Commission and EFPIA (European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations – www.efpia.eu ) driving collaboration between all relevant stakeholders including large and small biopharmaceutical and healthcare companies, regulators, academia, and patients.
The 9th Call topics are:
- WEBAE – Leveraging Emerging Technologies for Pharmacovigilance (focuses on Social Media Data Mining Algorithms)
- Developing Innovative Therapeutic Interventions Against Physical Frailty and Sarcopenia (ITI-PF&S) as a Prototype Geriatric Indication
- And, under the theme: Combatting Antimicrobial Resistance: NewDrugs4BadBugs (ND4BB)
- ND4BB TOPIC 4: Driving re-investment in R&D and Responsible Use of Antibiotics
- ND4BB TOPIC 5: Clinical development of antibacterial agents for Gram-negative antibiotic resistant pathogens
Applicant Consortia are invited to submit expressions of interest to one of the topics.
The expressions of interest should address all aspects of the topic to which the Applicant Consortia are applying. The size of each consortium should be adapted to the scientific goals and the expected key deliverables. The indicative duration of the project is between 3 years and 5 years.
The Topics are associated with a group of pharmaceutical companies that are members of EFPIA which are committed to collaborate with public and private organisations eligible for funding by the IMI JU. The EFPIA members will provide 'in kind' contributions to support their activities within the research projects.
The IMI JU applies a two stage Call process. In the first stage, ‘Applicant Consortia' (i.e. formed by academia, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), patient organisations, non EFPIA companies, etc.) are invited to submit, to the IMI JU, an expression of interest (EoI) in response to a Call topic/subtopic.
In preparing their EoIs, the Applicant Consortia should carefully read the Guidance Notes for Submission and Preparation of Expression of Interest published on the IMI website www.imi.europa.eu at the time of the 9th Call 2013 launch, in addition to the specific Applicant Consortium expectations/requirements outlined within the description of the individual topic.
The Applicant Consortium shall consider the research contribution that an EFPIA Consortium will make to a given project.
Each EoI submitted will be reviewed by independent experts according to predefined evaluation criteria.
Each Applicant Consortium with the highest ranked EoI will be invited to develop a full project proposal together with the EFPIA Consortium.
For each topic, the full project proposal will then be subject to a final review by independent experts according to predefined evaluation criteria.
The IMI JU financial contribution will be based on the reimbursement of the eligible costs. The following funding rates apply to the legal entities eligible for funding: For research and technological development activities, up to 75% of the eligible costs and for other activities (including management and training activities) up to 100% of the eligible costs charged to the project are eligible for funding. For the indirect costs (overheads), the legal entities eligible for funding may opt for one of the following indirect costs methods: the actual indirect costs; or the simplified method which is a modality of the actual indirect costs for organisations which do not aggregate their indirect costs at a detailed level, but can aggregate them at the level of the legal entity; or a flat rate of 20% of total eligible direct costs (excluding subcontracting costs and the costs of resources made available by third parties which are not used on the premises of the beneficiary).
