Call

European partnership fostering a European Research Area (ERA) for health research

Summary

Proposals under this topic should aim for delivering results that are contributing to all of the following expected outcomes:

  • Based on a trusted governance and effective working modalities, research funders, health policy-makers and the research community work together in order to identify and prioritise topics of common interest and European benefit;
  • Research funders and policy-makers;
  • Public health research systems in the ERA are more effective and integrated;
  • Health and care authorities, policymakers and other stakeholders use the research results to develop evidence-based strategies and policies, and deploy good practices to European countries and regions;
  • Patients and citizens are more knowledgeable about disease threats and contribute to a patient-centred decision-making process;
  • Countries cooperate better and use context-specific knowledge and evidence to make their health and care systems more sustainable

Detailed Call Description

This Partnership will be open in particular to public funders of Health research at both national and regional level in the Member States, countries associated to Horizon Europe and to other funders such as philanthropic organisations. The Partnership will integrate research and innovation areas covered by previous ERANET co-fund actions, Joint Programming Initiatives (JPIs), as well as IICSs. It will be composed of two phases.

Phase 1 will start by co-creating an accepted and effective governance mechanism to achieve the following objectives:

1. To jointly identify and implement a common good/best practice funding strategy in priority areas of common interest and European benefit to advance health research and develop innovation.

2. To define and have a first measure of coordinated investment in Public Health Research for the European Research Area (EU and Associated countries).

3. To develop new approaches that overcome known bottlenecks and challenges to implement multinational IICS. This will be achieved in close collaboration with ongoing initiatives to support the conduct of multinational non-commercial studies.
(further details p. 100 of the call document)

During Phase 2, additional multinational calls for IICSs and joint calls for other priority areas will be launched in accordance with the decision of the Health Programme Committee taken at the end of Phase 1 on the focus of the Partnership and the distribution of the budget between IICSs and other areas.

Capacity to bring together different stakeholders (e.g. research funders, health authorities, health and care institutions, innovators, policy makers).
