Overview
The funding opportunity HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-12 falls under the Horizon Europe program, specifically offering a lump sum grant as part of a Coordination and Support Action (CSA). This opportunity is designed to enhance research and innovation (R&I) efforts related to microbiome science, focusing on creating a centralized hub for knowledge and resources for various stakeholders, including researchers, policymakers, and regulators.
Eligible applicants include universities, research organizations, public and private entities, and non-profit organizations. A consortium of multiple entities is required to effectively coordinate and integrate efforts among EU member states and associated countries. The geographical eligibility spans EU and EEA member states, with potential provisions available for certain non-EU countries.
The target sectors encompass agriculture, health, climate, biodiversity, and food systems, and emphasize a One Health perspective that links human, animal, and environmental health. The project aims to address fragmentation in microbiome research, focusing on enhancing the connection between existing initiatives and informing policy development.
Funding for this CSA amounts to €2,000,000, with a single-stage submission process where applicants must submit their proposals by April 14, 2026. The primary goal is to establish a comprehensive resource center that maps the microbiome research landscape, identifies synergies and gaps, and develops guidance for policy frameworks influenced by microbiome science.
No mandatory co-funding is required, though collaborations with co-funding entities could enhance proposal competitiveness. Additionally, the opportunity aligns with broader EU policies, including the Farm to Fork Strategy and the EU Biodiversity Strategy, while focusing on developing evidence-based recommendations to drive future research and innovation efforts in microbiome studies.
In summary, this funding opportunity represents a strategic investment in harmonizing microbiome research across Europe and fostering an integrative approach to environmental and health issues related to microbiome applications.

Detail
This is a description of the EU funding opportunity HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-12, which falls under the Horizon Europe (HORIZON) program, specifically Call 02 single stage (2026) (HORIZON-CL6-2026-02). The type of action is a HORIZON Coordination and Support Action (HORIZON-CSA) with a HORIZON Lump Sum Grant [HORIZON-AG-LS] model grant agreement. This is a forthcoming opportunity with a single-stage deadline model. The planned opening date is 14 January 2026, and the deadline for submission is 14 April 2026 at 17:00:00 Brussels time.
The expected outcomes of this funding opportunity are to:
Provide a microbiome one-stop-shop containing resources and knowledge (information on microbiome R&I landscape, databases, best practices, risk assessments and food safety, aspects related to the environment and biodiversity, policy briefs…) for stakeholders involved in microbiome R&I (researchers, policymakers, and regulators).
Offer guidance for policymakers, focusing on the integrated link between the microbiome and its interconnection with human health, climate, environment, agriculture, and food systems, emphasizing the One Health perspective.
Enhance integration and coordination between member states and associated countries on microbiome research and innovation within a One Health context, encompassing all kinds of microbiomes.
The scope of this funding opportunity focuses on microbiome research, which has gained traction recently but remains fragmented. There is a need for a coordination body that monitors research in this sector and steers research efforts in a strategic direction. Regulatory requirements remain one of the biggest challenges in translating microbiome research into innovative solutions, and such a body would ensure the continuity of regulatory harmonization efforts conducted by previous and existing initiatives.
The topic is relevant to EU policies related to the Commission communication on Building the future with nature: Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing in the EU, the EU life science strategy, the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030, the zero pollution action plan, the EU strategy on research and technology infrastructure, the R&I food 2030 framework, and the digital transition policies (e.g., AI Act, etc.).
Proposals should address the following activities:
Establishment of a hub acting as a resource center and a monitoring body of the microbiome R&I and regulatory landscape.
Fostering and strengthening synergies between existing coordination efforts and national initiatives in alignment with EU microbiome initiatives.
Mapping of all ongoing and past EU-based microbiome projects, EU research and technology infrastructures, and EU initiatives (public and private).
Identifying overlaps, synergies, and gaps across all microbiome domains, notably to inform future funding and policy directions.
Collaborating with relevant ongoing initiatives (e.g., the World Microbiome Partnership), EU-funded projects (e.g., HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-11), and building on outcomes of legacy EU microbiome projects, among others, to ensure coordinated action, avoid duplication of efforts, build on existing achievements, and foster financial synergies by identifying microbiome R&I funding gaps.
Monitoring and assessing the microbiome R&I impact on the population, the environment, biodiversity, the EU economy, and competitiveness through specific indicators targeting EU and national policies priorities with an emphasis on One Health principles and across all microbiome types.
