Descripció:

In Horizon Europe program, Cluster Health, has opened one two-stage call under destination 4 Ensuring access to innovative, sustainable and high-quality health care with deadline for the first stage on the 19th September 2023:

HORIZON-HLTH-2024-CARE-04-04-two-stageAccess to health and care services for people in vulnerable situations.

Scope:

  • Different types of barriers - different barriers to study could be financial, geographic, social, marginalisation and discrimination. When relevant, health and digital literacy aspects should be analysed. The selection of factors should be context specific as groups suffering from access barriers vary a lot across EU countries and at subnational level. The principle of needs-based health and care should be taken into account.
  • Access to what? - for example: what part of the health and care system (from prevention, primary care and long-term care to tertiary care, any specific services, e.g. mental care) do different groups have access to? Is integrated care provided for these groups taking into account their particular needs? How much health and care services do different groups access?
  • Solutions - What measures are needed to counter inequalities in health and care access and make sure that vulnerable groups access health and care services and that access is based on needs (measures to educate, support and empower vulnerable groups can be included here)? What are the costs, at different levels, to develop these solutions? Piloting of measures could be included. Community-based and/or co-created initiatives and peer-support approaches: what works and how can these be supported, sustained and/or integrated in the wider service landscape.
  • Better data - improving access and quality of data will contribute to identify people in vulnerable situations' health needs and implement targeted measures corresponding to the challenges that each group experiences. The data could for example explore effectiveness of provided care (metrics helping to assess if provided care addresses the root causes of inequalities) or new valid methodologies to identify the unmet health related needs of people in vulnerable situations. Quantitative and qualitative data on inequalities in prevention, prevalence and treatment of different morbidities.
  • Cost analyses - The cost of inequalities in access to health and care services: Quantitatively and/or qualitatively measure the negative impact on not taking measures for helping people in vulnerable situations have access to health and care services including prevention.

Budget per proposal: between 4 and 6 million euros, expected 5 to 7 projects finance. 

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