Ambition of the call

The second JTC addresses the need to improve the implementation of personalised prevention strategies in health and care services, also to make them person-centred and better adjusted to people's needs while supporting effective and appropriate use of existing IT and digital-based technologies supporting prevention strategies in health and care services.

Potential proposals will assess practical implementation needs and challenges, such as barriers concerning resources, quantification of benefits and utility, sustainability issues, stakeholder engagement, geographical limitations, equity of access, and inequalities, with a view to supporting the uptake of those models that more effectively help address successful prevention strategies

Aim of the call

This call aims to support the implementation of innovative person-centred health and care models addressing prevention strategies, with the key help of existing IT and digital technologies and services, as well as existing and emerging data. The ultimate goal is to improve health and care system dimensions such as quality, efficiency, equity, and sustainability. Improving the quality of preventive services will lead to improving the quality of life of citizens and patients, as well as reducing the burden and costs for the entirety of health and care services

The call aims to address the transformative process that helps integrate personalised preventive strategies in innovative organisational models directly impacting the health and care systems. For this reason, actions on primary prevention will not be in the scope of this call.

Scope of the call

The proposals, in the scope of this call, will be focused on secondary, tertiary, and quaternary prevention:
- "Secondary prevention is associated with early detection of a disease which may result in improved chances for positive health outcomes."
- "Tertiary prevention is associated with services that promote better quality of life for those living with disease."
- "Quaternary prevention is related to avoiding over-medicalisation of patients, protecting them from unnecessary interventions and suggesting ethical alternatives."

Proposals will be rejected if they:
a) Predominantly concern development of new technological solutions, without a focus on integration of the solutions, organisational models or implementation in the health and care systems.
b) Have a predominantly clinical, pre-clinical/bio-medical component or
c) Are purely epidemiological studies mapping the extent of and causal factors behind illnesses, without a focus on solutions, models or implementation in the health and care systems.
d) Solely concern social/welfare services and do not address issues in the health and care services.
e) Do not take into consideration an ecosystem-wide approach and/or fail to consider end-users' perspective (see Guidance for Applicants for details).
f) Predominantly concern actions on primary prevention

The minimum project duration is 12 months and projects must be designed to be achievable during a maximum funding period of 36 months.

The consortium must include a minimum of three (3) eligible partners asking for funding from three (3) different EU Member States or Associated Countries whose funding organisations participate in the call.

Consortia funded in this THCS call are required to be interdisciplinary and trans-sectoral, including stakeholders from clinical research, public health, bioinformatics, technology, digital health, Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects (ELSA) research, implementation research, health economics research, actors from the public and private sector, and end-users (or experts that can support research on the impact for end-users).

Proposals must clearly demonstrate:
• their contribution to the transition towards more sustainable, efficient, resilient, inclusive, innovative and high-quality people-centred health and care systems equally accessible to all people, for example:
o providing decision-makers with guidance and instruments supporting the actual adoption and integration of research findings and evidence-based practices into different settings,
o improving the ability to implement innovation and maximising resources through health and care systems.
• the added value of the transnational collaboration

Joint transnational research and innovation proposals may be submitted to this call by teams working at different entities such as universities (or other higher education institutions) research and knowledge dissemination organisations, non-university public or private research and/or innovation organisations, hospitals or foundations or any healthcare providers, operational stakeholders (e.g. citizens and/or citizen representatives, local communities, schools, municipalities, local/national NGOS, consumer organisations), as well as companies, particularly small and medium-size companies.

It is strongly recommended to carefully read the country/region specific information regarding eligibility and funding and to contact the respective funding organisations since additional regional/national procedures might be mandatory (Annex I).
