The Partnership “Fostering a European Research Area for Health” (ERA4Health) aims at establishing a flexible and effective coordination between funding organisations in the European Research Area (ERA) in priority areas addressing European Public Health Needs.

This Partnership brings the opportunity to increase European transnational collaborative research funding by creating a funding body for joint programming. Under this umbrella, ERA4Health is glad to pre-announce the launch of a first Joint Transnational Call (JTC) in multi-country Investigator-Initiated Clinical Studies (IICS) on “Fostering Pragmatic Comparative-Effectiveness Trials in Non-communicable Diseases” (EffecTrial).

We kindly remind you that ERA4Health has planned on November 11th a dedicated webinar focused on these types of clinical studies in which our invited speaker Dr. Frank Hulstaert, M.D., Senior Researcher at the Belgian Health Care Knowledge Centre (KCE) will present a discussion on “Pragmatic Comparative-Effectiveness Randomized Trials: Real-World Evidence for Better Health Decisions.
