Research call on new treatments to tackle AMR now open

The first EUP OHAMR joint transnational call "Treatments and adherence to treatment protocols" is now open! The call involves 37 funding organisations from 28 different countries and has an estimated total call budget of over 31 million Euro. The call is co-funded by the European Union.

Drug-resistant infections are responsible for an increasing number of treatment failures, increased mortality and decreased food productivity. Inappropriate use, poor adherence to prescriptions, and overuse of antibiotics are one of the main drivers of AMR and have a detrimental impact on the effectiveness of these critical medicines.

To develop novel treatment protocols or alternative treatment strategies against infectious diseases and to improve, preserve and reinforce the clinical efficacy of the current treatment antimicrobials is vital. It is also necessary to identify barriers preventing the proper adherence of the end-users to the treatment protocols already in place.

This first EUP OHAMR Call aims to improve the treatment success rates of the patients/animals/plants affected by bacterial or fungal infections by providing new treatment options while reducing the risk of resistance in the different One Health settings.
