Call title: FP7-HEALTH-2013-SMEs-FOR-INNOVATION
Call identifier: FP7-HEALTH-2013-INNOVATION-2
Proposal submission and evaluation: two-stage procedure.
Date of publication: 10 July 2012
Deadline for stage 1 proposals: 25 September 2012 at 17:00:00 (Brussels local time)
Indicative budget: EUR 140 million from the 2013 budget

Note: in this SME-focussed call, there are somewhat different qualifying criteria.

Topics:

  • Boosting the translation of health research projects’ results into innovative applications for health.
  • Drugs and vaccines for infections that have developed or are at risk of developing significant anti-microbial resistance.

In the first instance researchers should review the theme documents, which are all available in the Participant Portal on the Research and Innovation FP7 site. (Also see the links above.)
