The specific challenge is to set up a research network across the Latin America region to facilitate, coordinate and implement urgent research against the current ZIKV outbreak, and eventually lay the foundation for a preparedness research network against any future emerging severe infectious threats.
Thus, the objective is to establish a multinational and multidisciplinary consortium across Latin America and other affected or at risk regions, able to implement the urgently needed research during the ongoing ZIKV outbreak.

Eligibility conditions for participation: At least three legal entities. Each of the three must be established in a different EU Member State or Horizon 2020 associated country.

All three legal entities must be independent of each other. Taking into consideration that, according to PAHO/WHO, Brazil is the country most severely affected by ZIKV, legal entities established in Brazil are eligible for funding.

Budget: The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 5 and 10 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Deadline for submission of proposals : 28 April 2016
If you interested you should act as soon as possible.
