EDCTP

The European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) is a partnership programme between countries in Europe and sub-Saharan Africa and the European Union. EDCTP primarily aims to support collaborative research that accelerates the clinical development of new or improved drugs, vaccines and diagnostics to prevent or treat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected infectious diseases. Research will be supported over a period of ten years (2014–2024) with a total of nearly 1.4 billion euros. Half of the funding comes from Horizon 2020 and half from the participating countries. As full member, the Research Council of Finland contributes to the programme through the funding scheme for development research. Finnish researchers can also apply for funding directly from EDCTP funding calls.
