Thematic grants: Preparedness for future challenges in specific areas of EFSA`s work
 
  • Lot 1: Evaluating the impact on/by gastro-intestinal (GI) tract microbiomes (human and domestic animal) in assessments under EFSA’s remit;
  • Lot 2: Evaluating the impact on/by environmental microbiomes (plants, wildlife, soil) in assessments under EFSA’s remit
  • Lot 3: Hotspots for plant-pests introductions: an integrated analysis to better prepare for pests’ invasions
 
The main objective of lots 1 and 2 is to build capacity for (1) evaluating the impact on microbiomes by various modulators under EFSA’s assessments, and (2) evaluating the impact of microbiomes on human, animal and plant health, in order to determine whether microbiomes can be included in risk assessments under EFSA’s remit or not. Proposals from applicants for this grant should allow EU Member States Authorities and EFSA to share knowledge, data and methods relevant for risk assessment, in a coordinated and effective manner. As microbiome assessment lies at the intersection of chemical and biological risk assessment, it will provide opportunities for experts on these two disciplines to collaborate and foster mutual understanding on their respective risk evaluations. The proponents should present their proposal to achieve the main objective, elaborating on the specific expertise needed, the contacts built to address this wide topic and the methodologies that are useful in a regulatory context. The proposal should aim at providing evidence-based advice. This implies that where current evidence is not existing or not sufficient, proposals may include data generation initiatives. The same for technologies and models.
 
The main objective of Lot 3 is to develop a methodological framework for the identification of hotspots for plant pests introduction and the subsequent analysis and identification of factors that determine their occurrence; by doing this, the vulnerability of different regions of the EU and the underlying factors for such vulnerability can be revealed. Accordingly, this approach will allow developing and integrating novel methods of spatial-explicit analysis in current quantitative pest risk assessments (based on EFSA guidance for Quantitative pest risk assessments)12. The identification of hotspots and the underlying factors should be considered in a holistic way, i.e. going beyond single pests or single crops and taking into account the complexity, the diversity of the EU landscapes and putting forward the vulnerability of EU geographical regions at different scales and agro- and forest production ecosystems. The choice of target pest groups and agro- and forest ecosystems by the applicant should consider the likelihood of the pests to enter, establish and spread but also the potential threat in terms of impact on agricultural and forest production, biodiversity and ecosystem services. Proposals should make an inventory and mapping of the hotspots for plant pest introductions, render evidence-based methods that describe the factors that determine these hotspots, and develop a methodology for the inclusion of hotspot analysis in quantitative pest risk assessment.
