The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) has opened its Joint Transnational Call 2022.
The topic of this call is the "Development of new analytic tools and pathways to accelerate diagnosis and facilitate diagnostic monitoring of rare diseases". A number of national and regional funding organisations will participate in the EJP RD Joint Transnational Call 2022 and will fund multilateral research projects on rare diseases under the EJP-COFUND action.
The aim of the call is to enable scientists in different countries to build an effective collaboration on a common interdisciplinary research project based on complementarities and sharing of expertise, with expected impact to use the results in the future for benefit of patients.
The projects shall involve a group of rare diseases or a single rare disease following the European definition, focusing on the European Community, EC associated states and Canada.
The deadline to submit the pre-proposal is 16 February 2022.
The French Foundation for Rare Diseases (Fondation Maladies Rares) has launched its 2021 call entitled ‘Identifying therapeutic molecules for rare diseases’. The call will support one of the two following steps of drug discovery:
The deadline for the submission of the proposals is 20 January 2022.
The European Commission is funding a call on the development of new effective therapies for rare diseases with the aim of “Tackling diseases diseases and reducing disease burden.” The topic will support proposals covering several different stages in the continuum of the innovation pathway ( translational, preclinical, clinical research, validation in the clinical and/or real-world setting etc.), as relevant.
To that end, proposals under this topic should aim for delivering results that are directed, tailored towards and contributing to some of the following expected outcomes:
The deadline for this call is a two-stage model, including 1 February 2022 and 06 September 2022.

The masterclass will take place on January 24-28, 2022 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It will cover major adrenal disorders and will include lectures as well as interactive sessions on patient cases with challenging diagnostic and therapeutic issues.
The European Health Data & Evidence Network (EHDEN) and the European Patients’ Forum (EPF) offer a free course to patient organisations on real world data. The course focuses on data protection and the vital role they can play in the healthcare ecosystem and health research.
The course is available upon registration through the EHDEN Academy.
A new series of Paediatric Surgery Courses organized by the Radboud UMC – Amalia Children’s Hospital (Nijmegen, The Netherlands) will be held online in 2022.
The courses will take place on the following dates:
The ERN EpiCARE has developped new e-learning modules in collaboration with the ILAE Academy. The modules are dedicated towards professionals who wish to practice diagnosis of rare and complex epilepsies. The first online six modules are patient-centered cases.
The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases has launched an online academic education course on rare diseases research topics. The development of the courses is coordinated by the Foundation for Rare Diseases, one of EJP RD's partners.
The first MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) “Diagnosing Rare Diseases: from the Clinic to Research and back” started on April 26th. This course aims to gain insight into patients’ experiences and discuss key issues relating to this topic.
It has been co-developed with representatives from ERN Ithaca (Prof Laurence Faivre, Dijon University Hospital), ERN Genturis (Dr Chrystelle Colas, Curie Institute) and Foundation for Rare Diseases (Roseline Favresse).
This course is designed for individuals with a keen interest in diagnostic research and rare diseases. While primarily designed for medical students and PhD/post-doc students in biomedical sciences, it will also be of interest to Patients Advocacy Organisations’ representatives, Healthcare professionals or paramedics who want to further their knowledge of rare diseases diagnosis.
This course will cover the following topics :
