The ISIDORe project has launched calls for transnational access (TNA) for projects focusing on study on pathogens with pandemic potential.
Find below the eligibility conditions of the calls, which services EMBRC offers and the guidelines to apply to the TNA calls.
Eligibility conditions and deadlines
- Scientists from academic institutions and private companies from European and non-European countries
- Scientists can only apply to services outside of their country of residence
- Scientists need to be free to disseminate the results generated in their project (unless they work for SMEs).
- The TNA calls will remain open as long as funding is available
To apply for free funded access to EMBRC services for any of these two TNA calls, please follow the steps indicated below.
How to apply?
IMPORTANT: before filling the form in the ISIDORE TNA webpage, please contact our access officer, Davide Di Cioccio (davide.dicioccio@embrc.eu), explaining the aim of your research and the EMBRC partner you wish to apply for.
1. Select the EMBRC service of your interest and then click on the associated link (in blue) indicated in the “service category” from the table below:
| EMBRC service | partner | service category | service subcategory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Natural compound libraries from different marine organisms (bacteria, fungi, sponges) | SZN (Italy) |
Support for the development of small molecule therapeutics | Natural compound libraries |
| > 14 000 samples (crude extracts and fractions of pre-fractionated extracts) from marine micro-organisms (i.e., fungi, yeast, bacteria, algae, ...) collected during EU FP7 project PharmaSea. Most samples are stored as 10 mg/mL stocks (DMSO), others at different concentrations or solvent (percentage) or as dried stock. | KULeuven (Belgium) |
Support for the development of small molecule therapeutics | Natural compound libraries |
|
Matrix customized methods (e.g. non-human samples) and multiplexed pathogen detection. Development/application of rapid, low cost, high throughput molecular methods for population screening |
CCMAR (Portugal) | Support for the development of diagnostics | Matrix customized methods (e.g. non-human samples) and multiplexed pathogen detection |
| Non-conventional screening models for toxicity and ecotoxicity assays (zebrafish eggs, invertebrates and microalgae) | CCMAR (Portugal) | Cell model – well differentiated and/or polarised cell systems | Non-conventional screening models for toxicity and ecotoxicity assays |
| Models for vaccine immunogenicity studies (zebrafish embryos and early larvae, invertebrates for immunogenicity / innocuity screening). Disease screening models (transgenic zebrafish embryos and early larvae) |
CCMAR (Portugal) | Models for vaccine immunogenicity studies | - |
2. A specific ISIDORe TNA webpage will appear. Scroll down at the bottom of the page: in the form, in the field “Select your service category” please choose the service category indicated in the table above. If necessary please indicate the service subcategory.
3. Please fill the other fields of the form accordingly.
4. As soon as you have submitted the application, you will receive an email with an ISIDORe project ID number (ISID_XXXX)
5. To complete your application, please email our access officer at davide.dicioccio@embrc.eu with your ISIDORe ID number as subject. We will provide you with further guidance for your service request and will assist you with the procedure.
If you have any questions regarding the TNA calls of the ISIDORe project please contact us at access@embrc.eu.
