EULAR Publication Support Voucher

European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)

The Publication Support Voucher provides rapid funding to support publications about rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) research in high-quality peer-review EULAR-endorsed journals (Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (ARD), EULAR Rheumatology Open (ERO)) and journals associated with national societies and organizations of EULAR’s member societies.

Budget and financial requirements

The budget may not exceed EUR 2,000 per publication.
Applicants are required to apply for a EULAR Publication voucher before submitting their article to a journal for review.
If awarded a voucher, the EULAR publication support funding will be provided upon presenting the acceptance letter of the journal. Reimbursements will be done based on proof-of-payment.
All funds will need to be spent within 12 months of voucher approval.

Application requirements

Awardees will be required to present proof-of-payment of the publication fees and complete the follow-up impact survey.

Review and decision process:

Applications will be reviewed quarterly.
Preference will be given to countries in which rheumatology research has received lower levels of research support on a historical basis or that have been under-represented in abstract submission rates to the EULAR Congress.
The anticipated number of vouchers is contingent upon EULAR appropriations and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. Alignment with EULAR’s Mission & Research Strategy

EULAR supports work that aims to reduce the burden of RMDs, improve prevention, care, and patient outcomes across Europe .

Projects should show patient relevance, real-world impact, and feasibility of implementation.

2. Targeted Program Fit

Research Vouchers (up to €5,000): Quick support to cover services, data, or small pilot needs

Research Methods Grant (€50,000): For novel methodology development in basic/translational RMD research; expected call in June 2025 with clear path to future funding

Health Professionals (HPR) Research Grant (€45,000): Led by health professionals (non-MDs) with impact across ≥3 countries; inclusive of multidisciplinary professions and patient-centered approaches

Training & Bursaries: Support short-term (1–3 weeks) or longer (1–6 months) fellowships within Europe for early-career rheumatologists

Research Exchange Programmes: e.g. EULAR–ACR in Chicago, EULAR–APLAR in Japan, to foster international collaboration

3. Scientific Quality, Innovation & Feasibility

Funders prioritize proposals with strong scientific rigor, clear aims, innovative methods, and pilot feasibility.

Applications for Methods Grant should emphasize method development with a path to broader implementation; HPR proposals must show strong work plans and achievable outcomes .

4. Collaborative, Multi-Country & Impact-Oriented Approach

Many schemes require collaboration across multiple European countries, particularly for the HPR Research Grant and exchange programs .

Projects that integrate patient involvement are favored, particularly in HPR grants.

5. Strong Research Ecosystem & Mentorship

Access to EULAR services—such as Research Consultation Service, research webinars, training venues, and EULAR Centres of Excellence—strengthens applications.

Participation in EMEUNET (EULAR’s Emerging Network) signals early-career investment and helps with mentoring and visibility.

6. Rapid Funding Access & ROI through Vouchers

Research Vouchers enable rapid seed funding—ideal for acquiring critical data or services to move a project forward and strengthen future grant applications

7. Quality of Application & Realistic Budgeting

Proposals should include detailed budgets aligned with EULAR requirements, realistic timelines, and multi-stage planning when relevant.

For Methods Grants, demonstrate sustainability and reach beyond pilot phase; for HPR, define impact on professional practice across countries .

8. Timing & Compliance with Deadlines

Research Methods Grant: opens 1 June 2025, closes 30 June 2025

Voucher programs: Research Service, EU Grant Development, and Publication Support are available quarterly, but with a key deadline of 30 September 2025

HPR Grant: call opens mid‑September 2025, with a deadline of 23 October 2025, decisions by early March 2026 .

Summary Table

Program / Tool	Purpose	Key Strength Indicators
Research Voucher (€5k)	Small pilot support or service costs	Clear immediate need; adds value to ongoing research
Methods Grant (€50k)	Method/tool innovation with RMD focus	Novel methodology, path to implementation
HPR Research Grant (€45k)	Health professional-led RMD project spanning ≥3 countries	Impact on practice, cross-national relevance, patient involvement
Short-/long-term Training Grant	Exchange visits or fellowships across Europe	Early career development; network building
Research Exchange Programs	Attend ACR or APLAR conferences for collaboration	Cross-disciplinary exchange; institutional support

Application Tips for Success

Select the correct award stream: e.g., if you're an early-career physician aiming to build independence, use training or voucher schemes.

Provide a concise, high-quality research plan with measurable aims and milestones.

Show collaboration: international partners, multi-site sites, patient representatives.

Use EULAR’s consultation and training services to refine applications and prepare for proposal submission.

Follow budget requirements exactly (e.g. no overheads; direct costs only).

Submit within the official calls and rounds: e.g., Research Methods Grant in June 2025; HPR Grant in October 2025; vouchers and bursaries on rolling schedules.
