Training and innovation networks for sustained capacity development related to ethics, regulatory, pharmacovigilance, and related digital regulatory platforms (HORIZON-JU-GH-EDCTP3-2026-03-SERP-01)

Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking

This topic funds the unglamorous infrastructure that determines whether health research can happen at all: ethics committees, national regulatory authorities, pharmacovigilance systems and the digital platforms that run them. The target is regulatory agencies below WHO Maturity Level 3, mentored by ML3 and ML4 agencies, through training and twinning networks. For a country whose research ethics and regulatory capacity are a recognised bottleneck, this is more consequential than its low profile suggests.
