In Horizon Europe program, Cluster Health, are open two two-stage calls under destination 1 Staying healthy in a rapidly changing society with deadline for the first stage on the 19^th September 2023:

- HORIZON-HLTH-2024-STAYHLTH-01-02-two-stage:Towards a holistic support to children and adolescents' health and care provisions in an increasingly digital society.

The main goal of the research and innovation should be to promote healthier societies by developing holistic solutions that foster healthy lifestyles from early age with long-term impact(s).

Scope:

• Develop and advance person-centred, evidence-based and coordinated disease prevention intervention solutions to support children and adolescents' health and care in an increasingly digital society.
• Develop and integrate innovative, privacy preserving tools and technologies, such as (but not limited to) activity trackers, sensors, serious games, platforms and robotics, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in coordinated and integrated care models, to help children and adolescents lead healthy, active and social lifestyles, prevent diseases, as well as to better monitor and manage their physical, social and mental health.
• Stimulate the adoption of person-centred approaches and solutions for better health, care and well-being of children and adolescents, by including stakeholders from all the relevant sectors (including but not limited to education, leisure, social innovation, healthcare, Medtech, media and citizens) in the co-creation, design, planning and adoption of the solutions, as well as the training of their end-users.
• Develop and disseminate evidence-based guidance and tools for children and adolescents promoting healthy balance between a sedentary digitised lifestyle and a more active nondigitised lifestyle in support of their physical, mental and social health and well-being on short- and long-term basis.
• Develop, implement (pilot and/or scale-up) and promote person-centred tools and interventions for better physical and mental wellbeing, addressing the risks of digital addiction and overconsumption, isolation and mental illness, by promoting physical, intellectual or artistic activities, social interaction and providing mental health support and treatment.

Budget per proposal: between 8 and 10 million euros, expected 3 to 4 projects finance. 

Research and Innovation Actions benefits from a grant that covers 100% of the project costs.

- HORIZON-HLTH-2024-STAYHLTH-01-05-two-stage: Personalised prevention of non-communicable diseases - addressing areas of unmet needs using multiple data sources.

The funded projects will work towards reducing the burden of NCDs in line with the 'Healthier Together' - EU Non-Communicable Diseases Initiative. This does not limit the scope of projects under this topic to particular diseases as any disease area of interest, comorbidities and health determinants can be addressed.

Scope:

• Enable the understanding of areas of unmet need in NCDs prevention, possibly also addressing disease mechanism, management of disease progression and relapse. Providing new approaches for prevention, focussing on the digitally supported personalised dimension, that can be adopted and scaled up.
• Devise new or improved ambitious policy and intervention options, with expected high population-wide impact on the target groups in question.
• Design an integrated, holistic approach.
• Study the ethical, legal and social aspects as well as health economics of the personalised prevention tools and programmes being developed.
• Develop and validate effective strategies to prevent NCDs and optimise health and wellbeing of citizens (including the most vulnerable).
• Provide scientific evidence on interactions between the genetic predisposition to multifactorial diseases and environmental factors or environmental triggers.
• Among others. Please consult the Call text.

Budget per proposal: between 8 and 12 million euros, expected 4 to 8 projects finance. 

Research and Innovation Actions benefits from a grant that covers 100% of the project costs.
