The I3PT promotes thirteen research and innovation projects in health with nearly one million euros of competitive funding

The Parc Taulí Research and Innovation Institute (I3PT) has obtained a total of 982.071 euros in competitive funding to develop thirteen health research and innovation projects, during the last period of 2025.

This funding comes from different state calls, including the programs of the Strategic Action in Health – Strategic Lines of Research in Health 2025 (AES-LEIS 2025) of the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), the State Research Agency, and the PERIS calls of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

Within the framework of the program AES-LEIS 2025, the institute has obtained funding in the calls for proposals “R&D&I Projects in Health” and “Independent Clinical Research” for a total of six research projects, with a total of 922.071 Euros, 60.000 Euros in the "Intensification Contracts" call to free up a percentage of the working day for an I3PT researcher.
