Call for Proposals: Third Programme in the field of Health - 2017 Call for Projects - PJ-01-2017

Call for proposals

Third Programme for the Union's action in the field of Health - 2017 Call for Projects - PJ-01-2017

 

Objectives and description


This Call for proposals is conducted in the framework of the Third Programme for the Union's action in the field of Health (2014-2020) and refers to the following topic:

·         PJ-01-2017: Supporting Member States in mainstreaming health promotion and disease prevention in health and educational settings

 

Only proposals that directly correspond to the topic and description as set out in this work programme will be considered for funding. Proposals that only address the thematic area but do not match the specific description of a given action will not be considered for funding.

 

This action aims to communicate the potential of health promotion and disease prevention and health determinants in the Member States and to increase the commitment of public authorities to this topic. A workshop (and a conference) to update knowledge and good practice will be organised, with the participation of the main medical faculties and the Chief Medical Officers of all Member States. The workshop will be preceded by the preparation of a report providing an overview of the current situation in the EU (this document will be updated after the workshop) and it will be followed by a conference.

 

Lifestyle determinants are behind most chronic diseases. They have a major impact on the health of European citizens – from before birth to old age –, on the burden on health systems, and on the productivity of our societies. For most people, reliable information about their health will be provided on a regular basis by health professionals. Ensuring that health professionals, especially General Practitioners, have the adequate knowledge on healthy lifestyles, and the skills and experience to promote them, is thus essential to support citizens when taking decisions and making adjustments in their daily life. Such changes can have major positive effects on health over the entire span of the life of each person. They can avoid that healthy citizens become (chronic) patients. Health professionals should have access to the best evidence base and to the training opportunities necessary to support the prevention and treatment of lifestyle-related chronic diseases.

 

This is made more relevant by the fact that health professionals generally have very limited time with their patients, and the patients are usually and naturally most interested in a pressing health problem. This creates a constant pressure to focus the contact or consultation on symptoms and treatment. In parallel, proposing lifestyle changes is in many cases not fully accepted by patient and doctor alike as a complete treatment option.

 

By encouraging universities, education regulators and professional associations to include the knowledge about (promotion of) healthy lifestyles throughout the lifespan as part of the curriculum, these subjects can be better mainstreamed in basic medical training, reaching all health professionals and becoming (more) practiced and accepted. This can be achieved during the studies to obtain a medical diploma or through courses, workshops or additional training after graduation.

 

To address these questions, it will be important to map how EU health professionals are being trained in health promotion and to create a EU network of medical faculties, education regulators and professional associations to promote interest, capacity building and engagement in this area; to organize a workshop to develop concrete action; and to further promote the topic and publicize the developed initiatives in an international conference.

 

Eligible activities


The actions to be funded are capacity building, promoting the benefits of health promotion and disease prevention in Member States. A workshop will be held in cooperation with the Commission to raise awareness.

 

Eligible participants - Minimum conditions


Grant applications are eligible if submitted by legal persons.

 

More specifically, the applicants must be legally established organisations, public authorities, public sector bodies, in particular research and health institutions, universities and higher education establishments. The application shall state the legal status of the applicant.

 

Applicants participating in a project proposal have to be different legal entities (i.e. independent from each other) from at least 3 countries participating in the Health Programme. Proposals which involve fewer applicants will be rejected.

 

Only applications from entities established in one the following countries are eligible:

·         EU Member States;

·         Iceland and Norway;

·         Countries which have a bilateral agreement with the European Union. Currently Serbia and Moldova have a bilateral agreement with the European Union.

 

Budget and duration


The indicative maximum amount for the present call is EUR 250.000. The Agency is expected to fund one or more proposals.

 

The maximum rate of EU co-financing is 60 %. However, this may go up to 80 % if a proposal meets the criteria for exceptional utility specified in Annex VII of the 2017 Work Programme.

 

As a rule, the maximum duration of project is 36 months. The grant application must specify the scheduled starting date (if possible) and duration of the action. Applications for actions that have already commenced by the date on which the grant application is registered will be excluded from funding from the Health Programme.

 

Deadline of proposals' submission


The deadline for submission is 15 June 2017, 17:00 Luxembourg time.
