Under the ERA4Health Partnership, the 10th Joint Transnational Call (JTC10) for the year 2027 will be open to applications on the 17th of November, 2026
The aim of this call will be to support translational research projects that develop application(s) of nanotechnologies, either solely or in combination with Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), to make significant strides in the development of diagnostic and theranostic tools for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Proposals should focus on developing and/or validating diagnostic and theranostic tools that are grounded in robust scientific evidence.
The results obtained from these tools must enable the optimisation of the care continuum. This care continuum includes, among other things, prevention, early disease detection, disease monitoring, treatment guidance, adverse effect and/or risk/benefit assessment. The proposed research must define and validate performance benchmarks against existing diagnostic approaches to demonstrate added value in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accessibility, affordability, patient comfort, invasiveness and/or safety.
In addition, at any stage of the research and for all applications, translational and adoption requirements for nano-enabled diagnostic and theranostic solutions must be considered. This includes, scalability, manufacturability, standardisation, affordability, accessibility, cost-effectiveness, regulatory readiness, interoperability, and integration across different healthcare systems. In case of the development of theranostic tool(s), the proposed approach must apply a diagnostic-first principle, where diagnostic must serve the therapeutic choice.
