Call for proposals and guide for applicants Annex 1: Rules on eligibility of costs Annex 2: Draft grant agreement
nicoleta susanu's insight:

The specific objectives for projects are to:

1. Develop reference (harmonised) methodologies for the detection and quantification of allergens in foods, preferably in highly processed foods, which allow the comparison of results across laboratories. The comparability of results obtained by using the developed methodologies shall be demonstrated by the participating laboratories. 

2. Generate good quality data on Minimum Eliciting Doses (MED) and Minimum Observed Eliciting Doses (MOED) for allergenic foods subject to mandatory labelling (except peanuts, eggs, milk, and hazelnuts) in food allergic individuals (both in adults and in children). Data should be obtained in dose-finding studies using appropriate protocols.

Call for proposals: GP/EFSA/AFSCO/2016/01 - Methodology development in risk assessment | European Food Safety Authority

Call for proposals: GP/EFSA/AFSCO/2016/01 - Methodology development in risk assessment | European Food Safety Authority | EU FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES  AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT TIPS | Scoop.it
nicoleta susanu's insight:

The call is divided into three different lots:

Lot 1: Methods and systems for the identification of emerging food risks

Lot 2: Integrated methodologies for the risk assessment of mycotoxin mixtures in food and feed

Lot 3: Output-based methods for the assessment of the freedom of animal disease/infection

 

Objectives

 

The overall objective of Lot 1 is the establishment of a collaborative platform to support the current EFSA procedure for emerging risks identification. The platform should allow EU Member State authorities and EFSA to share knowledge, data and methods for the identification of emerging food-related risks in a rapid and effective manner.

The main objective of Lot 2 is to develop integrated innovative methods for the risk assessment of mixtures, using mycotoxins as a case study for the development of a holistic approach, from synthesis in primary production to effects on human health, animal health and environment. It is foreseen that these methods will be applied in the future by risk assessors dealing with mycotoxin mixtures for the food and feed area.

The main objective of Lot 3 is to develop a framework that could enable to evaluate, standardise and compare the outcomes of different control programmes for non-regulated diseases, with particular emphasis on the confidence of freedom at different level of aggregation (animal, herd, area, country, etc.)
