HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis
Under the area ‘HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis’ research will focus on developing new therapies, diagnostic tools, and preventive tools such as vaccines and chemicals barriers as HIV microbicides. Research efforts will confront the three diseases at global level, but will also address specific European aspects of the three diseases as hepatitis co-infection. Preclinical and early clinical research activities will be emphasised.

- Development of new tools to control infections due to parasites of the Trypanosomatidae family.
- Development of a Leishmania vaccine
- Bio prospecting for drug leads

Anti-microbial drug resistance including
fungal pathogens
The strategic objective of 'anti-microbial drug resistance' is to confront the increasing emergence and spread of microbial drug resistant pathogens in Europe and the rest of the world at broad fronts and in a multidisciplinary approach through the development of effective infection prevention and control strategies.
Topics for Second call - Deadline 18 September 2007
- Novel targets for drugs against Gram negative bacteria
Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects (small or medium-scale focused research projects with
maximum contribution of 6.000.000/project)
- Host-pathogen interactions in infections by Streptococcus pneumoniae
Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects (small or medium-scale focused research projects)
- An integrated platform for development and clinical evaluation of point-of-care diagnostic devices for microbial detection, antibiotic susceptibility determination and biomarkers
Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects (large scale Integrating projects)
- Molecular epidemiology to control nosocomial and community spreading of highly virulent multi-drug resistant strains of bacterial pathogens.
Funding scheme: Collaborative Projects (small or medium-scale focused research projects)
- Health and economic cost of antimicrobial resistance
Funding scheme:Coordination and Support action
- Conference on genetic and biochemical tools for postgenomic physiological analysis of Staphylococcus, in particular MRSA
Funding scheme: Coordination and Support action
Potentially new and re-emerging epidemics
The area related to 'Potentially new and re-emerging epidemics' intends to confront emerging pathogens with pandemic potential including zoonoses (e.g. SARS and highly pathogenic influenza). Call topics aim to cover the full' value chain' of health research: from innovative basic research to early stage clinical trials of new prevention, diagnostic and therapeutic measures all the way to implementation research supporting effective public health responses.
Topics for Second call - Deadline 18 September 2007
- Strengthening research on prediction, identification, modelling and surveillance of newly emerging infectious diseases in humans
Funding scheme: Collaborative projects (large-scale integrating projects)
- Definition of research needs and priorities in Europe in
the area of Emerging Infectious Epidemics
Funding scheme: Coordination and Support action
