One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (OHAMR): First call for proposals

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge that affects human and animal health, food security and the environment. The European Partnership on One Health Antimicrobial Resistance (EUP OHAMR) is one of the key partnerships that has been identified by the European Commission within the framework of the Horizon Europe funding programme to support research and innovation to respond to the challenges of AMR.

The EUP OHAMR was launched in June 2025 for a period of 10 years. The programme brings together 53 organisations from 30 countries in the EU and beyond to address AMR challenges across sectors and One Health domains.

The funding programme includes the launch of annual joint transnational calls. The first call aims to provide innovative and cost-effective treatment options.

This call covers three main topics:

• Topic 1: Identify and develop new combination treatments using existing or innovative antimicrobials or antimicrobial with adjunctive treatments to extend drug efficacy and combat resistance.

• Topic 2: Develop tools and methods to improve adherence to treatment protocols.

• Topic 3: Assess the impact of antimicrobials for veterinary and agricultural use on the risk of AMR transmission to humans and the environment to inform policies on the restriction of some antimicrobials for human use. 

These topic descriptions provide broad guidance; for the full scope, focus areas and detailed expectations, applicants are encouraged to consult the official call text.

• Pre-proposals: 02 February 2026 

• Full proposals: 17 June 2026 

Participation of Swiss-based researchers 

Researchers based in Switzerland are encouraged to join international research consortia under this call and can participate on equal terms with teams from EU member states and other associated countries. To receive funding from the SNSF, Swiss partners must meet the SNSF’s Project funding eligibility criteria. 

Applications must be submitted at two levels: 

• Central submission: The project coordinator submits the pre-proposal and full proposal on behalf of the consortium via the Joint Call Secretariat’s online submission platform. 

• National submission: Swiss partners requesting SNSF funding must also submit a separate administrative application through the SNSF’s mySNF platform. 

The deadlines for both central and national submissions are the same, except that SNSF applications must be submitted no later than 17:00 (Swiss local time) on the day of the deadline. First-time applicants to the SNSF are encouraged to contact the SNSF Administrative Offices in advance for guidance and support.
