Description
The purpose of this project is to provide added value support to the submission of funding proposals via services described Schedule 1 - Scope of Work. The initial focus of services is expected to be for European Commission funding applications in 2026 (Lot 1) including, but not limited to, Horizon Europe, European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) and European Research Council (ERC) opportunities. LSTM may also require the same type of services for other funders (Lot 2) and invites suppliers who specialise in a particular funder to submit responses outlining their expertise and services for those funders. Examples include FCDO, UNITAID or NIH (USA).
