Call for proposals on applied omics approaches to address unmet clinical needs in RMDs – FOREUM
The Foundation for Research in Rheumatology (FOREUM) recognizes the growing importance of novel omic technologies beyond transcriptome analysis such as proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics in advancing our understanding and management of rheumatic and musculoskeletal disorders (RMDs). We are pleased to announce our latest call for research proposals focused on harnessing these emerging and increasingly important omic technologies for hypothesis-driven research in RMDs. The proposals should start from and focus on a clearly articulated unmet medical need and aim to provide solutions for the identified challenge. Pure screening approaches without functional validation of the hypothesis will not be funded. This call aims to support collaborative consortia of at least three partner universities to undertake research that would be challenging to fund through generic calls across disciplines. By fostering collaboration and innovation, we aim to catalyze transformative research that will ultimately benefit individuals living with RMDs. Proposals may be funded with up to a maximal amount of 600.000 Euro for a 3-year funding period.
