In an interdisciplinary approach from systems biology and toxicology research, the aim is to support common, innovative and practice-oriented projects to replace animal experiments.
The systems biology approaches will be used to improve the prediction and quantifying risks to human health, while reducing animal experiments at the same time. For this purpose available resources shall be bundled and international cooperation in the development of 3Rs research, systems biology, bioinformatics and toxicology should be strengthened. ZonMw and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) published a first joint funding guideline for transnational multidisciplinary research projects in the field of education and research in 2014.
Deadline for proposals is June 27, 2019.

Follow-up guideline to the InnoSysTox funding initiative Featured
Systems biology approaches allow a comprehensive view of an organism as a whole. In order to further strengthen the field of systems biology in Europe and to establish sustainable research cooperations between Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, the funding institutions from the three European countries have now relaunched a successful guideline and published it under the name "InnoSysTox-Moving - Innovative Systemic Toxicology as an Alternative to Animal Testing - Towards Application".
