Deadline for full proposal is on 15 December 2023. For more info please visit TRANSCAN website or the call text.    Location Navarrabiomed info@navarrabiomed Europe/Madrid public

The ERA-NET TRANSCAN-3 has launched its 3rd call for proposals (JTC 2023) on the topic of: Translational research on cancer epigenetics.This call will be focussed on 2 aims:

Only transnational  projects will be funded. Each research consortium must involve a minimum of three and a maximum of six eligible partners from at least three different countries participating in the call. In addition, a research consortium must not involve more than two research groups from one country. Inclussion of research teams from Hungary, Latvia, Slovakia and Turkey is encouraged. 

Each consortium must involve at least one basic or pre-clinical research team and one clinical team. It is also recommended to include an expert team in methodology, biostatistics or bioinformatics, depending on the type of work planned. The consortium may also involve other teams with specialised skills and know-how (biobanks, model systems, technological platforms, etc.) or expertise (epidemiology and molecular epidemiology, early phase clinical trials, public health, ELSI, etc.).
