Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking (GH EDCTP3 JU)
The Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking (GH EDCTP3 JU) is a partnership between the European Union (EU) and the EDCTP Association, whose members are several European and African countries. It supports the development of new solutions for reducing the burden of infectious diseases in sub-Saharan Africa, and strengthen research capacities to prepare and respond to re-emerging infectious diseases in this region and worldwide.
Under the 2024 work programme, two calls for proposals are open: a two-stage call covering six topics for Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) and a two-stage call covering one topic for Coordination and Support Actions (CSA).

Infectious diseases, such as HIV, malaria and Tuberculosis, but also other poverty related and neglected infectious diseases, with a focus on Africa, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Covers emerging infectious diseases threats, antimicrobial resistance and non-communicable diseases and co-morbidities.
Funding from the Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking is allocated to entities eligible for funding under the Horizon Europe programme and established in the constituent states of the EDCTP Association.
Depending on the specific project
The indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement, described in Annex F of the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2023-2024, is as follows:
- Information on the outcome of the evaluation: Around 5 months from the deadline for submission
- Indicative date for the signing of grant agreements: Around 8 months from the deadline for submission
For two-stage calls, the timing is different (for the evaluation result: around 3 months from the deadline for submission for the first stage and around 5 months from the deadline for submission for the second stage; for signature of the grant agreement: around 8 months from the second stage deadline for submission).
