Summary
Ukraine has a very high cancer burden with more than 155,000 new diagnoses every year. The country has also one of the highest childhood cancer mortality rates globally.
Disparities in access and quality of cancer care in Ukraine were high before Russia’s unprovoked aggression and worsened because of the conflict, which has also led to increased cancer mortality and morbidity, due to discontinuation of treatments and shortage of medical supplies.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address all of the following:
A research capacity-building programme should be set up between EU Member States/Associated Countries and Ukraine, in order to support Ukraine to develop or to further improve research & innovation-related capacities of future or existing Cancer Infrastructures.
The capacity building programme should include the following components:
- Development of a joint-research training programme, including distance-learning modules
- Twinning research activities, including staff-exchange for the implementation of targeted research projects and access to cutting-edge services
The capacity building programme should cover at least the following areas;
- Enhanced involvement in quality scientific research, including development and implementation of clinical trials and other epidemiological studies and related training;
- Better integration of research and care to improve patient outcomes. Particular emphasis should be given to cancer in children, adolescents and young adults;
- Improvement of digital capacity to support primary and secondary use of patient data, including through improvement of data exchange capacities and development of cancer registries where needed.
Gender-related aspects, with respect to representation in research and career pathways and any other relevant aspects, should be duly taken into account.
The research capacity-building programme should be tailored to the needs of the participating entities. This concerns in particular the required participants / stakeholder groups, duly reflecting health and research system specificities. The training module shall consist of balanced theoretical and practical parts, including simulations, case studies, group exercises, mutual learning exercises and on-site visits (when possible) to gather practical experience.
