This new database presents information on projects and networks supported under the various calls coordinated by the JPIAMR.
The JPIAMR supported AMR research database allows users to explore data by investments in AMR research priority areas (as defined in the JPIAMR Strategic Research Innovation Agenda), countries of the researchers involved and details of the individual research projects and networks.
JPIAMR is proud to launch the new Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), which has been broadened to include antifungal research and innovation priorities.
JPIAMR has held a series of consultations with the antifungal research community to incorporate antifungal research priorities in to the JPIAMR SRIA. The SRIA is a prime guiding tool for AMR research prioritisation in investments, research activities and planning for JPIAMR member states and other funding initiatives. It is also one of the most thorough guidelines on AMR research, helping researchers, policymakers, media, educators, health workers and the scientific community to work together on solutions to curb AMR on a global scale.

The JPIAMR will be holding a webinar in alignment with the launch of the broadened JPIAMR SRIA: Supporting Transnational Research Collaboration on Fungal Drug Resistance. The webinar will be held on 28 April 2021, 14.00-16.45 CET, and is organised in collaboration with the Israel Ministry of Health.
The JPIAMR has led and facilitated a series of webinars on ’AMR in a post-pandemic world’. Two articles have recently been published summarising the outcomes of the webinars and discussing the potential impact of COVID-19 on antimicrobial resistance and providing key recommendations.
In 2020, JPIAMR held a series of webinars engaging clinical, research and policy experts to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on antimicrobial resistance. The outcomes of the webinars have been published in two journal articles. The first article, published in the Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance provides a statement on the impact COVID-19 has had on AMR stewardship, surveillance, research and data sharing. The second article, published in the Transactions of The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene reviews antibiotic use and factors affecting the spread of AMR in the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the paper provides key recommendations targeted towards clinical, research and policy stakeholders for antimicrobial resistance in the pandemic and post-pandemic times.
JPIAMR would like to thank the participants in the webinars and the authors of the papers for their engagement and efforts for the outcomes.
Welcome to our new website!
The new JPIAMR website has been launched! It has a new design and new structure with the aim to improve user accessibility.
The site’s content is now partly re-structured and we have created clear entries on the start page to the most sought after content. All research calls have their own pages with links to the projects and networks awarded funding within each call. The Projcets section contains a possibility to filter projects by call or by JPIAMR Priority topic. Upcoming JPIAMR events such as workshops and webinars are now clearly visible on the start page, and below this you will find entries to some of our recources such as our AMR KNowledge Hub and our media library.
We hope that you will enjoy our new website. If you are having trouble finding something or wish to give us feedback, please contact us at secretariat.jpiamr@vr.se.
JPIAMR is launching an international call for projects under the umbrella of the JPIAMR and within the framework of the ERA-NET JPIAMR-ACTION.
The call “One Health interventions to prevent or reduce the development and transmission of AMR”, with financial support from the European Commission, includes 30 funding organisations from 21 JPIAMR member countries. The total estimated call budget is 24.9 million Euro.
The call advocates for a One Health approach to understand the impact of interventions on the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance and to design, implement, evaluate, and compare interventions that will have a true impact on preventing or reducing the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance in and between the different One Health settings (human, animal, environment).
The call will support research projects that also have the potential for impact in areas where the risk and burden of AMR is greatest, such as in Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Seasons Greetings and best wishes for a new year from the JPIAMR secretariat!
The COVID-19 pandemic has made a huge impact on all of us but also made us more certain than ever that collaboration across borders and disciplines is the way forward. The need for science is more important than ever!
Being part of JPIAMR, an organisation supporting research and coordinating resources in these challenging times is very motivating. Together, the JPIAMR member countries create opportunities and enable research on antimicrobial resistance with a One Health approach across the globe. Important work have been carried out no matter of the many changes and hurdles presented in 2020.
Antibiotic resistance is already a serious challenge and we could only imagine what it would be like to be in an ”AMR-pandemic”. So we need to prepare for solutions and collaborations to curb AMR on a global scale. We need to keep working together.
JPIAMR has continued the work in 2020 in this spirit. We have awarded funding to seven new networks, launched a research call on water pollutants in collaboration with JPI Water and JPI Oceans, developed research infrastructures dashboards, created a new ERAnet Co-fund JPIAMR-ACTION and organised virtual meetings, scientific workshops and webinars.
– I am very pleased and impressed how JPIAMR has been able to adapt to the new conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Together with digital workshops and webinars, launched to facilitate knowledge exchanges and sharing of research results despite travel restrictions, funding of different networks by JPIAMR has demonstrated the importance of research collaborations across borders, says Jan-Ingvar Jönsson, JPIAMR Chair.
JPIAMR launched this year a new Implementation Plan for the years 2021-23 and advanced the design of the future One Health AMR Partnership. We enter the new year with several exciting activities and research opportunities. The focus for the coming year is already set, and we look forward to collaborations across borders and disciplines. Doing what we are set do to and best at: Making countries work together on AMR research with a One Health approach. We are working together, with you and for you.
– Laying the foundations for the One Health AMR partnership is a very stimulating enterprise. Research collaborations among countries and organisations are a critical element of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, addressing the ever increasing AMR global threat will need countries to come together. In this context, the future for the One Health AMR Partnership looks bright, even if the challenges are manifold, says Marie-Paule Kieny, JPIAMR Vice-Chair.
More information on the upcoming call “One Health interventions to prevent or reduce the development and transmission of AMR”, including a partner search tool is now available.
Pre-announcement: One Health interventions to prevent or reduce the development and transmission of AMR

Seven networks have been recommended for funding within the JPIAMR 10th transnational call: “JPIAMR Network Plus 2020”.
Seven networks including 146 partners from 35 countries have been recommended for funding within the JPIAMR 10th transnational call: “JPIAMR Network Plus 2020”. The total funding amount is approx. 737.000 €.
The call was launched in February 2020 and supported by research-funding organisations from eight JPIAMR member countries.
The intent of the call was to support networks to design and implement ways to support AMR research considering at least one of the six strategic areas of the JPIAMR Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA): Therapeutics, Diagnostics, Surveillance, Transmission, Environment and Interventions. Networks should develop and implement activities focusing on AMR within the domains of Human health, Animal health and the Environment. The Networks were encouraged to bridge multiple One Health areas as needed and to consider the incorporation of their activities within the JPIAMR-Virtual Research Institute (JPIAMR-VRI).
