To be eligible, recruitment of patients of Flanders and accessibility of study-based treatment for patients in Flanders must be guaranteed.
Clinical research in the context of a public-private partnership may be eligible if it is necessary for the execution of the project, appropriate agreements regarding intellectual property are in place and if guarantees can be given on accessibility and fair price setting after the research is completed. Commercial/industrial parties cannot apply for funding themselves under any circumstances.
Applications for funding cannot be made for translational research within the call for clinical research projects.
