Announcement of European Medicines Agency priorities for adverse drug reaction research
At its plenary meeting on 19 March 2009, the European Medicines Agency?s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted its 2010 priorities for drug safety research based on recommendations from the CHMP?s Pharmacovigilance Working Party. The priorities were developed with a view to them being considered as future topics for the 4th Call of the European Commission?s 7th Framework Programme (FP7).
On 30 July 2009, the Commission published several calls for proposals of FP7 including three calls under the ?Health? Theme. The priorities for
adverse drug reaction research are reflected in the call ?FP7-HEALTH-2010-single-stage?, call topic HEALTH.2010.4.2-3, Adverse drug reaction research and the European Medicines Agency now wishes to release complementary information with the aim to support researchers in developing proposals that meet the needs of the respective selected research.
