In the Networking Support Call 2025 (NSC2025), applicants from previously funded ERA PerMed and EP PerMed projects, researchers from (inter)national projects related to health research towards PM approaches, and translational stakeholders from countries participating in EP PerMed (see Annex 1 of the call text for eligible countries) are invited to apply for funding for a networking event. Applicants can apply for funding of up to €30,000 per networking event to organise a single transnational European/international event focused on translational aspects of personalised medicine.
Applicants can choose between a face-to-face meeting or a hybrid format. An application template must be completed in an electronic submission system in order to participate in this competitive call. The call is open from May 2025 until 29 September 2025. Eligible applications are competitively evaluated by an independent Networking Evaluation Committee based on predefined criteria, in accordance with the rules of the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme.
To connect to researchers from previously funded ERA PerMed and EP PerMed projects, these projects are presented in the EP PerMed project database.
With this call, EP PerMed will provide financial support to organise a networking event.
The aims of the NSC2025 are:
These aims must be met by:
The awarded consortia have one year to organise a single networking event using the awarded budget. The event can be organised as a workshop or conference. The focus of the event should be the translation of PM research into healthcare, clinical applications and/or prevention as described in the aims above. Networking events supported by EP PerMed need to be collaborative, interdisciplinary and involve cross border participation.
The outcome of networks funded in the framework of the NSC should be enhanced collaboration in PM enabling the implementation of PM research into healthcare, clinical applications and prevention.
The output of networks funded in the NSC must be a report about the event, where the results of the findings and discussions of the event, expected outcomes and impact of the enhanced collaboration are described. In this report anticipated future output can be mentioned, e.g. publications, roadmaps, analyses, new clinical guidelines or medical recommendations.
The NSC uses a one-step submission and evaluation procedure. Each application must include two parts:
The networking event should be organised within 12 months of the date the application is awarded. If the event is held more than 12 months after this date without justification, the NSC networking budget will be revoked.
The maximum budget is €30,000 for a single networking event, inclusive of any applicable VAT and regardless of the chosen format. Funding can be used to cover activities such as the organisation of a face-to-face and/or hybrid meeting or workshop/conference, as well as covering travel and accommodation costs for participants.
Please note that experimental research activities (e.g. costs for research equipment or consumables), salaries for scientific or other staff or student stipends are not eligible for funding.
Applicants can apply for funding of up to €30,000 per networking event to organise a single transnational European/international event focused on translational aspects of personalised medicine.
The funding is awarded in the form of a guarantee budget up to the maximum amount of the granted project as indicated in the decision letter. The principal applicant is accountable for the expenses of the networking event. The principle applicant will receive up to 80% of the granted project budget by the NSC secretariat before the networking event takes place. Within 2 months after the event has taken place the principle applicant has to send a final report describing the outcomes of the networking event as well as the financial report containing relevant supporting documents (electronic invoices, tickets, etc.) to the NSC secretariat. The final financial settlement by the NSC secretariat follows afterwards.
Please note that the principal applicant of a proposal selected for funding will have to use different electronic systems during the funding process. One system for submitting the application (PT-Outline) as well as a system for granting and financial reporting (provided by ZonMw).
Proposals must include 3–6 partners from at least three participating countries, combining academia, clinical/public health, and private-sector expertise .
Successful teams show clear sectoral diversity—e.g., SMEs, regulators, patient groups .
For PGxPM2025, proposals should address one or more of:
Identification of new pharmacogenomic markers via multi-omics
Validation of markers predicting drug response
Personalised dosage/efficacy/adverse-response strategies
Focused projects that stray into unrelated drug–drug interactions or general biomarker discovery are out of scope .
The Fast Track call specifically targets the validation phase—moving PM tools from prototype to clinical integration .
Projects should include validation plans engaging clinical and end-user environments .
Proposals undergo a pre-proposal (due Feb 18, 2025) and full proposal (due June 17, 2025) evaluation, followed by possible rebuttal rounds .
Strong applications follow the timeline closely and prepare thoroughly for each stage.
EP PerMed is guided by its Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA), which emphasizes cross-phase research, innovation, implementation, and health systems integration .
Demonstrating how your work addresses specified SRIA “Triplets of Action” is a strong asset .
Since funding is through national/regional organisations, proposals must show capability to coordinate administrative, legal, and financial structures across countries .
This includes national submissions, ethics handling, and multi-agency compliance.
Factor | What It Shows / Why It Matters |
---|---|
Consortium strength | Demonstrates capacity for multinational collaboration |
Topic alignment | Ensures relevance and eligibility |
Validation strategy | Underlines clinical/mkt readiness |
Adherence to timelines | Shows organizational preparedness |
SRIA alignment | Positions the project within EP PerMed roadmap |
Coordination skills | Supports cross-national execution |
Build diverse consortia: Engage academic, clinical, and private-sector partners from ≥3 countries.
Tailor to PGxPM2025 scope: Clearly state what you’re discovering or validating and why it’s pharmacogenomic.
Plan validation work: Include clinical or end-user environments to test efficacy or feasibility.
Map to SRIA: Reference specific objectives or "Triplets of Action" in your section on impact and relevance.
Prepare for two-stage review: First pre-proposal, then full proposal—prepare drafts early.
Plan administrative coordination: Clarify national submission processes, ethics procedures, and funding agency compliance.
💡 In essence, success with EP PerMed depends on presenting a multinational, well-structured consortium advancing PM through rigorous pharmacogenomic research and validation studies, tightly aligned with EU strategic priorities and capable of cross-border coordination.
For an application to proceed to evaluation, it must meet all the eligibility criteria mentioned in the call text.
