Six networks have been recommended for funding within the JPIAMR 15th transnational call: Diagnostics and Surveillance Networks. The networks include 228 partners from 40 countries and the total funding amount is 300 000 € plus up to 100 000 € fort start-up and final joint workshops.

The networks assemble leading experts and stakeholders with an intent to facilitate the development, optimisation and use of diagnostic and surveillance tools, technologies and systems.

For the first time, a network focussed on antifungal resistance has been included.

Thirteen projects involving 72 partners from 15 different countries have been recommended for funding within the JPIAMR 14th transnational call: Disrupting drug Resistance Using Innovative Design. The call was within the framework of the ERA‐NET JPIAMRACTION and the total funding amount is 15,4 M€.

The projects aim to improve the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections (including co-infection) and/or the prevention of the emergence/spread of resistance in humans, animals or plants through the improvement of the efficacy, specificity, delivery, combinations and/or repurposing of drugs and plant protection agents.

The JPIAMR has since its launch in 2011 coordinated 13 transnational joint calls till date supporting 99 projects and 38 networks with over 1300 researchers by investing 125 million Euros. In the framework of the CSA DESIGN, JPIAMR is preparing for the future One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (OH AMR) partnership programme including its portfolio for funding instruments. The OH AMR partnership programme will be a research and innovation (R&I) funding programme designed and launched jointly by the European Commission and member states. Using a combination of EU and national public R&I funding, this new programme will contribute to the European One Health Action Plan against AMR and the WHO Global Action Plan on AMR, both aiming to reduce the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

The aim of this survey is to gather feedback from the AMR research community to understand its views regarding gaps in the AMR funding landscape, and, the requirements for potential funding mechanisms with impact. These funding instruments could be used by JPIAMR member states and the European Commission in the future co-funded programme OH AMR partnership to support R&I and capacity building activities.

The survey will close on the 26th September 2022 at 12.00 CEST

The outputs, outcomes and the impact generated by the projects supported under the 2016 JPIAMR joint co-funded call “AMR Transmission Dynamics have now been published in a report. The report highlights the effect of supporting excellent science through transnational research collaborations.

Numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles in highly recognised journals have been published by the supported projects on the research findings, and a patent has been filed on a new peptide molecule discovered in one of the projects.

Other impact highlights are:

• New knowledge generation to address AMR at regional, national and global scale with a One Health approach.
• Science-based policy and societal impact.
• Innovative tools and analytical methods and technologies.
• Interdisciplinary expertise in transnational collaboration.

AMR Transmission Dynamics call

The third JPIAMR joint co-funded call “AMR Transmission Dynamics” was launched in 2016. The call was conducted by 21 participating funding organisations from 18 countries and was co-funded by the European Commission (EC) within the JPI-EC-AMR ERA-Net co-fund grant . The call resulted in the awarding of 29.1 million euros (M EUR) including a 6.3 M EUR contribution from the EC to 19 research projects. The 19 project consortia included a total of 118 researchers from 16 countries aiming to bridge the knowledge gap on AMR transmission mechanisms.

The call was one of the first of its kind to address transmission of antibiotic resistance following a One Health approach not only focussing the European and North American countries but also including research activities in the low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).

It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge that JPIAMR officially celebrates ten years as an international collaborative platform. From its inception in December 2011 until today, JPIAMR has achieved and exceeded its mission to coordinate national funding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) research, guided by a shared strategic research and innovation agenda. Today 28 countries fund AMR research with a One Health approach, as members of JPIAMR. More than 1 400 researchers in 71 countries have been engaged in research that has been funded by JPIAMR members. In total, 125 million Euros have been allocated to research and networking which has achieved outstanding results and impacts. This highlights the role of JPIAMR as a key initiative helping to understand and curb AMR on a global scale.

JPIAMR is leading the development of the One Health AMR Partnership within the Horizon Europe Framework Programme. We look forward to working together with members to seek and support solutions to curb AMR.

“It is impressive to see what JPIAMR members have made possible during these ten years. The results from funded research are astonishing and important, showing that the JPIAMR model works. JPIAMR is well suited to lead the development of the One Health AMR Partnership. We can only imagine what will be achieved in the ten years to come. I am joining all of the members and the AMR research community in wishing JPIAMR a Happy Birthday!” – Jan-Ingvar Jönsson, JPIAMR Chair
