EP OHAMR Joint Transnational Call 2027 “Understand, Model and Stop AMR Transmission”

With an estimated total budget of €28 million, the EUP OHAMR Joint Transnational Call 2027 will bring together 33 funding organisations from 26 countries to support international research collaborations aimed at improving our understanding of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission and developing effective strategies to prevent its emergence and spread across the One Health spectrum.

Novel and improved measures are urgently required to tackle AMR more effectively, informed by a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving the emergence, evolution, selection, persistence and transmission of resistance within and between the One Health sectors.

To address these challenges, the JTC 2027 will fund transnational research projects within the following topics:

Topic 1

Model AMR transmission dynamics to predict the risk of AMR emergence and spread to support decision-making of public authorities.

Topic 2

Understand and characterise the role of host commensal micro-organisms (including fungi) in AMR dynamics and develop solutions aiming at selective decolonising of resistant organisms in the host (human and animals) to prevent transmission.

Topic 3

Develop or improve tools and methods to reduce resistant bacteria, fungi, and resistance genes in environmental hotspots, and investigate the impact of these tools and methods on AMR transmission.
