Personalised Medicine for CARdiovascular, MEtabolic, and kidNey diseases (CARMEN2026)
With this Joint Transnational Call, EP PerMed will fund research projects in human health on innovative PM strategies for patients with cardiovascular, metabolic or kidney diseases. Research projects may focus on a single disease or explore these conditions in combination.
Research projects that combine a personalised medicine approach with care strategies targeting shared biological pathways or common underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular, metabolic and kidney diseases are welcome.
Projects funded under this call are furthermore required to include a dedicated work package focussing on the question of the translation or implementation of the research outcomes into clinical practice with a focus on e.g. patient outcome, patient preferences, costs, reimbursement, education (to healthcare providers, patients and citizens), ELSA (ethical, legal and societal aspect) or accessibility at the point of care.
The call will be implemented in two stages, i.e. a pre- and a full proposal phase. The available budget for this call is 38 Mio. € (approx.). A maximum project duration of 3 years may be applied for in accordance with EP PerMed funding organisation regulations.
Preproposals must be received by the JCS in electronic format no later than 10 February, 2026 at 14:00 CET.
