CIHR-IG is pleased to be partnering with the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS), Ataxia Canada and approximately twenty-six international funding organizations in the context of this European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) call for proposals 2022.

Projects shall focus on a group of rare diseases or a single rare disease following the European definition i.e. a disease affecting not more than five in 10.000 persons in the European Community, EC associated states, Australia and Canada. Applicants are encouraged to assemble groups of rare diseases based on relevant criteria and commonalities if this leverages added value in sharing resources or expertise.
