The EU4HEALTH Programme is the EU funding programme in the field of health that is aimed to improve human health throughout the Union and ensuring a high level of protection of human health in all Union policies and activities, following the One Health approach.

Topic 1: Cancer and other NCDs prevention - action on health determinants.

Scope: complement the implementation of the joint action on 'Cancer and other NCDs prevention - action on health determinants' led by the Member States, thus helping to reduce the burden of cancer and other NCDs, and related risk factors, namely by supporting Europe's Beating Cancer Plan and policy initiatives on NCDs.

Activities to be funded will run in parallel to the joint action, include implementing targeted projects involving civil society organisations complementing the Member States' efforts in the design, planning and implementation of best practices, the production of public health guidelines, patients' and caregivers' consultations, or other actions that can benefit citizens directly, the preparation and roll-out of innovative practices (pilot test), and support actions such as training and twinning, health communication or health literacy. The call is composed of two sub-topics: a) Addressing health determinants related to cancer; b) Addressing health determinants related to NCDs other than cancer. Budget: 11 million euros. Funded projects: up to 8 under the sub-topic a) and up to 3 under the sub-topic b).

Topic 2: Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other NCDs.

Scope: reduce the burden of NCDs and related risk factors, targeting cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, both at an individual and societal level, namely by supporting the NCDs policies and corresponding actions led by the Member States. The civil society organisations will implement targeted projects and activities, complementing the Member States' efforts in the design, planning and implementation of best practices, including support for the definition of public health guidelines, the preparation and roll-out of new policy approaches, to the pilot test of innovative practices, and support actions such as training and twinning, health communication or health literacy. Budget: 5 million euros. Up to 10 projects will be funded.

Topic 3: Support the roll-out of the second cohort of the inter-specialty cancer training programme.

Scope: to extend the implementation coverage of the first cohort of the inter-specialty cancer training programme through enrolling new cancer centres, as well as additional trainees and trainers. Activities to be funded under this topic will be actions that will roll-out the second cohort of trainees, and, in addition, will organise a dissemination event to present the outcomes of the training. These actions are expected to be complemented by the organisation of events to share the experiences developed during the training, which will also strengthen the networking of the trainees and trainers across the Union. Budget: 7 million euros. One project will be funded.

Topics 1 and 2: consortium composed of at least 3 entities from 3 eligible countries. The consortia must include at least one eligible applicant, working with displaced people from Ukraine, on the ground in Ukraine, or has activities linked to Ukraine.

Topic 3: a consortium of at least 15 eligible entities established in at least 7 different eligible countries.

Funding:

The grant will cover a maximum of 60% of the project costs. A higher project funding rate (maximum 80%) can be asked if the project is of exceptional utility. Actions with a clear Union added value shall be considered to have exceptional utility where:

(a) at least 30 % of the budget of the proposed action is allocated to Member States whose GNI per inhabitant is less than 90 % of the Union average; or

(b) bodies from at least 14 participating Member States participate in the action, of which at least four are Member States whose GNI per inhabitant is less than 90 % of the Union average.
