Applicants must form part of a multi-country consortium, with private sector participation from SMEs and start-ups encouraged, and pre-clinical research using animal models or human samples is permitted. Northern Ireland-based researchers are not eligible under this HRB strand and must apply via UKRI instead. ## Who should apply - Researchers based at institutions in the Republic of Ireland (Northern Ireland applicants must apply via UKRI) - Applicants working on Topic 2 Human Health within a required transnational consortium - Teams open to pre-clinical research involving animal models or human samples - Consortia including private sector partners such as SMEs or start-ups - Applicants not affiliated with the tobacco or alcohol industry ## Key dates - Pre-proposal deadline: 12:00 GMT, 2 February 2026, submitted by the Coordinator via the online platform - Two-stage process: pre-proposal followed by full proposal with HRB budget justification - Projects expected to start between December 2026 and April 2027, running up to 36 months ## Tips for applicants - Only the Coordinator submits the pre-proposal via the online platform, confirm consortium roles and submission responsibility early since a single applicant can coordinate only one proposal. - Budget carefully around excluded costs: PhD stipends and tenured academic staff salaries are not eligible, so plan direct costs (capped at €330k per partner) accordingly. - Since private sector participation from SMEs and start-ups is encouraged, consider recruiting an industry partner to strengthen the consortium profile before the full proposal stage. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much funding does the EUP OHAMR Joint Transnational Call provide?
