First Joint Call: Innovative approaches to address antibacterial resistance
Projects awarded funding within the 1st JPIAMR Joint Call
InnovaResistance, published in January 2014, was the first joint transnational call of the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR) consisting of 19 nations. The call was promoted by 14 funding agencies from 12 countries with a total budget of 13,8M€. “I am very pleased that we now have the first nominated projects within the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance,“ said Mats Ulfendahl, chair of the Management Board. The evaluation has been a two-stage process and a peer review panel based on scientific quality evaluated the proposed projects. Based on the recommendation and available funding seven projects have now been nominated for funding. Projects have started at the end of 2014 or beginning of 2015.
