Dear colleagues,

We would like to inform you that as of today, 17 December 2025, Union Civil 
Protection Mechanism (UCPM) Response action grants will be processed under a 
new call for proposal in the Funding and Tenders Portal 
(UCPM-2026-RESPONSE-IBA), via a new dedicated link: 
<https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/submission/manage/screen/submission/create-draft/43011?topic=UCPM-2026-RESPONSE-IBA> 
https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/submission/manage/screen/submission/create-draft/43011?topic=UCPM-2026-RESPONSE-IBA.

You can find all necessary details on procedures in the attached documents:

*	Invitation to submit the proposals and relevant documents on the Funding & 
Tenders Portal,
*	Call for proposals - UCPM emergency response actions - 
UCPM-2026-RESPONSE-IBA
*	General Model Grant Agreement (MGA) for UCPM

Please note that the initial Request for Union Assistance will continue 
being submitted in CECIS before the start of the operation. All requests 
already submitted until 17 December 2025 for which a grant application form 
was not yet sent under the previous call for proposals will be treated under 
the new call.

An online information will be organized on 13 January 2026 to explain 
operational aspects of the application process – an email will be sent 
shortly in order to block your agendas.

The Operations Verification and Deployments Team in A.1 remains at your 
disposal for any further support. Thank you for forwarding this email to all 
interested colleagues working on UCPM response grants.
