Tackling high-burden for patients, under-researched medical conditions

Code: 28335 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-HLTH-2024-DISEASE-03-14-two-stage | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Health (Cluster 1) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 26/04/2023 | End submission calls: 19/09/2023

A number of medical conditions fail to be recognized and/or correctly diagnosed in a significant proportion of patients. Consequently, they are undertreated and can often become a chronic burden to the patient. These medical conditions may be under-researched despite their high prevalence. This topic excludes rare diseases.

Comparative effectiveness research for healthcare interventions in areas of high public health need

Code: 28333 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-HLTH-2024-DISEASE-03-08-two-stage | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Health (Cluster 1) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 26/04/2023 | End submission calls: 19/09/2023

The paediatric population, including children born preterm, has also its specific needs in specially adjusted therapeutics and early interventions to address emerging health and developmental problems. Similar to the elderly population, the paediatric population is often excluded from many clinical trials that generate the evidence base for healthcare interventions. Women, including pregnant women, are also often under-represented in clinical studies and access to quality healthcare is frequently inadequate. Other population groups with limited access to quality healthcare and/or under-representation in clinical studies include low-income groups, and refugees. Intersectionality within these groups also needs consideration.

Call for proposals for action grants to provide financial contributions to organisations representing consumer interests in Members States or offering assistance to consumers in Member States in the form of Alternative Dispute Resolution

Code: 28303 | Identifier Code: SMP-CONS-2023-ADR | Programme name: 3856 | Start submission calls: 29/03/2023 | End submission calls: 18/07/2023

Code: 28282 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-HLTH-2024-STAYHLTH-01-02-two-stage | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Health (Cluster 1) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/03/2023 | End submission calls: 19/09/2023

This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several impacts of destination 1 “Staying healthy in a rapidly changing society”. To that end, proposals under this topic should aim for delivering results that are directed at, tailored towards and contributing to all of the following expected outcomes:

• Children, adolescents and their parents/carers are educated and empowered in prevention strategies involving personalised approaches and solutions (also through the use of digital tools) to manage, maintain and improve children’s and adolescents’ own health, physical activity, nutrition habits, leisure needs, mental and social well-being, in full respect of the privacy of individuals.
• Children and adolescents, including those from vulnerable contexts, monitor their health risks, adopt healthy lifestyles at home, at school and in the community and interact with their doctors and carers (receiving and providing feedback), also through the means of digitally enabled solutions, better health literacy, training and critical thinking.
• Thanks to better co-creation, training, digital and health literacy, children, adolescents, parents and carers across Europe access and use person-centred, widely available solutions for children and adolescents’ health, care and wellbeing, appropriate to a rapidly changing and increasingly digitalised society, also considering the risk of digital addiction.

The development of nuclear and radiation techniques can help diversify the supply of secondary critical raw materials from non-EU countries and within Europe. Action in this area should develop EU capacity for innovative exploration and production of secondary raw materials and/or recovery/recycling of raw materials from spent nuclear fuel, e.g. rare-earth metals (lanthanides).

Innovative technologies for safety and excellence in decommissioning, including robotics and artificial intelligence

Code: 28259 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-EURATOM-2023-NRT-01-07 | Programme name: 23715 | Start submission calls: 04/04/2023 | End submission calls: 08/11/2023

Decommissioning is currently recognised as a fixed part of the nuclear facilities’ life cycle. This cannot be neglected when implementing a sustainable energy future. This also reflects the public interest and the contemporary principle of environmental sustainability related to any industrial activity. Though various dismantling techniques are at the level of industrial maturity, there are still specific challenges to achieving high safety standards, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of dismantling operations.

Innovative non-animal human-based tools and strategies for biomedical research

Code: 28236 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-HLTH-2024-TOOL-05-06-two-stage | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Health (Cluster 1) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 30/03/2023 | End submission calls: 19/09/2023

Proposals to be submitted under this call should develop and/or use tools and strategies that address critical areas of biomedical research where animal-models are currently used but are of limited translational value for investigation and development of prevention and treatment. Such advanced tools and strategies should aim at a better understanding of the pathogenesis of disorders that feature a high impact on public health and exhibit a high rate of animal use or severe animal suffering, and enable to develop biomedical concepts with increased translational value, thereby ultimately leading to improved disease prediction, prevention and treatment.

Safety of low enriched fuel for research reactors – securing the supply of medical radioisotopes

Code: 28233 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-EURATOM-2023-NRT-01-08 | Programme name: 23715 | Start submission calls: 04/04/2023 | End submission calls: 08/11/2023

HPRRs and MPRRs are vital to a number of scientific areas, from basic research and materials research, nuclear physics, medical and life sciences to the education and training of highly qualified experts. These are essential for implementing the highest nuclear safety standards in Europe.

These first-class research reactors are mostly used for irradiation testing of existing and future materials. This enables scientific advances crucial to the development of applied technologies, production of homogeneously doped silicon for high-performance semiconductors and production of radioisotopes for industry and nuclear medicine. This enables a stronger European Health Union and a more secure, better-prepared and more resilient EU.
