Overview
The grant opportunity titled "HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-BIODIV-07: Health of ecosystems and wild species, predictions and impacts on human health, in the face of existing and emerging stressors, from a One Health approach" is part of the Horizon Europe initiative, focusing on research that emphasizes the interconnectedness between ecosystem health, wildlife, and human health using a comprehensive One Health approach.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of entities such as research institutions, universities, public and private sector organizations, non-profits, SMEs, large enterprises, and international organizations dedicated to biodiversity and health research. Both individual applicants and consortia are permitted to apply, allowing flexibility in team formation.
The grant employs a lump sum funding mechanism, whereby a fixed contribution is awarded rather than reimbursement of expenses, leading to simplified budgeting and predictability. The overall budget for this initiative is €14 million, with a total of two expected grants, each carrying a maximum contribution of €7 million. The call is open from April 20, 2027, to September 22, 2027.
The geographic eligibility aligns with Horizon Europe's regulations, including EU member states and associated countries. Non-EU countries can participate but typically without EU funding. Projects should encompass a global perspective, analyzing ecosystems across various environments.
The research areas targeted include biodiversity conservation, environmental sciences, public and environmental health, disease prevention, and climate adaptation, all framed within the One Health perspective. Specific themes like the implications of ecosystem degradation on human health and cross-sectoral implications are encouraged.
Details regarding application requirements specify that proposals must be submitted electronically, evaluated on the basis of excellence, impact, and implementation. The success rate for similar calls has historically ranged between 10 to 15%, reflecting high competition.
There is no mandatory co-funding requirement; however, projects may seek voluntary contributions from partners or national governments. Additional non-monetary support will be available through collaborations with various European networks and partnerships.
This comprehensive funding opportunity aims at fostering research that can provide actionable policy recommendations and develop innovative solutions to enhance ecosystem health and, consequently, public health, aligning with broader European environmental and health policies. The successful implementation of these projects will not only advance scientific knowledge but also promote societal benefits, particularly for vulnerable populations.
