Mobilisation of Research Infrastructures for the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency

As part of the EU response to the COVID-19 pandemic, for activities specifically linked to COVID-19, grants may be awarded without a call for proposal in accordance with Article 195(b) of the Financial Regulation 2018/1046, to address this exceptional emergency. The Funding & Tenders Portal will open a dedicated section where applications can be received. The invitation to apply for funding may also be limited to targeted entities. Entities will be targeted taking into account the need to achieve the underlying objectives in a quick and efficient manner considering the exceptional circumstances (“extreme urgency” due the COVID 19 pandemic).

Proposals should concern the setting-up of a Population Health Information Research Infrastructure, to collect and make available population health and relevant non-health data in MS and at EU level that can support research and policy decisions regarding the COVID-19 pub
