Prevent the emergence and spread of AMR
Prevent the emergence and spread of AMR supports researchers in cross-border One Health studies of resistance transmission and host micro-organisms to prevent antimicrobial resistance emerging and spreading.
Funder: Austrian Science Fund (FWF)
Due Dates: February 1, 2027 (Secretariat pre-proposal) | February 2, 2027 (FWF pre-proposal) | June 23, 2027 (Secretariat full proposal) | June 24, 2027 (FWF full proposal)
Funding Amounts: €200,000–€450,000 per FWF-funded principal investigator for 24–36 months
Summary: Supports cross-border One Health research on AMR transmission and host micro-organisms to prevent resistance emerging and spreading.
Key Information: Consortia must include 3–6 partners from at least three participating countries; clinical research is ineligible.
Description
The Austrian Science Fund (FWF) supports this call through the European Partnership One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (EUP OHAMR). It funds cross-border research studying, preventing, and mitigating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The partnership promotes interdisciplinary One Health research and innovation to improve surveillance, diagnostics, and infection treatment, alongside prevention measures that reduce antimicrobial use and resistance transmission.
FWF funding covers two topics: modelling AMR transmission dynamics to predict emergence and spread and inform public authorities’ decisions; and investigating host commensal micro-organisms, including fungi, in AMR dynamics. The second topic also supports solutions for selectively decolonizing resistant organisms in human and animal hosts to prevent transmission. Researchers receive funding from their respective national or regional funding organizations.
