Based on the published scope; the official page sets out the full themes and requirements.

Is your work a fit? Check before you apply

  1. Confirm the project develops nano or advanced technology diagnostics for non-communicable diseases.
  2. Build a transnational consortium that meets the partnership’s eligibility rules.
  3. Check national funding rules for each partner in the official call documents.
  4. Plan the work towards clinical relevance, including validation where appropriate.
  5. Prepare a complete, institutionally approved application before 19 January 2027.

Why This Funding Call Matters

Non-communicable diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes account for much of the burden on health systems, and earlier and more precise diagnosis can improve outcomes. Nanotechnology and other advanced technologies offer new ways to detect disease markers sensitively and at the point of care. Transnational funding allows consortia to combine engineering, clinical and industrial expertise needed to move diagnostic tools towards practical use.

Who Should Apply

Academic backgrounds

  • Nanotechnology and materials science
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Clinical medicine
  • Analytical chemistry
  • Medical physics

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities and research institutes
  • University hospitals
  • Medical device and diagnostics companies
  • SMEs in nanotechnology

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. A diagnostic approach that offers a clear advance over current methods.
  2. A consortium combining technical, clinical and translational expertise.
  3. A credible pathway towards clinical validation and use.
  4. Attention to regulatory, ethical and usability considerations.

  • Recognition from a competitive, peer-reviewed process.
  • Reviewer feedback that strengthens future applications.
  • A track record for larger grants and fellowships.

What happens after you apply

  1. Eligibility check: the funder confirms the application meets the call rules.
  2. Peer review: external reviewers assess the proposal against the published criteria.
  3. Panel: a committee ranks proposals; some schemes include an interview.
  4. Decision: outcomes are released on the funder’s timetable.
  5. Award: successful applicants agree terms and reporting requirements before starting.

What the Funder Are Looking For

ERA4Health is looking for transnational consortia developing nano and advanced technology diagnostic tools that improve detection and clinical management of non-communicable diseases. Strong proposals typically combine technical innovation with clinical relevance, a capable multidisciplinary consortium and a realistic plan towards validation. National eligibility, budgets and the two-stage process should be confirmed in the official call documents published by ERA4Health and its partner agencies.
