Short Call Abstract:

Proposals should address one of the two topics of the call:

Topic 1: Design novel or improved interventions to prevent, mitigate and /or treat fungal infections, which are resistant to treatments and/or are at risk of developing resistance.

For this topic the novel interventions may include, but are not limited to: prevention strategies, treatments based on new or existing compounds or technologies, improved or novel diagnostics or surveillance

Topic 2: Improve and/or, compare and/or evaluate strategies, technologies, treatments, methods, protocols or data collection based on existing interventions, aiming to prevent or reduce the emergence or spread of antibacterial or antifungal resistance or to treat/cure infections caused by resistant bacteria/fungi and recommend new policies.

Within this topic, projects should address one or more of the following subtopics:

Improve and/or compare and/ or evaluate the effectiveness of existing interventions (e.g. cost effectiveness clinical utility, socio-economic adaptability, reducing AMR emergence, spread, transmission, treatment etc.)
Identify the barriers to uptake, including factors leading to the success or failure of previously run pilot interventions, and when applicable design solutions to overcome them

The prevention and/or mitigation interventions may include, but are not limited to:

Treatment (e.g. wastewater, medical, technological etc.),
protocols
Social, societal and behavioural intervention (e.g. public awareness campaigns, provider audit and feedback, reimbursement penalties, prescription requirements, infection prevention and control programmes),
Stewardship efforts

SSH aspects (keywords/disciplines):

sociology; behavioral studies; economics; law

Specific participation requirements (optional):

The consortium must include a minimum of three eligible project partners asking for funding from three different eligible countries (including at least two amongst EU Member States or Associated Countries.
