CFPs: Enhancing Fragmented Health Research and Innovation Program

The focus of this opportunity includes breaking down fragmentation between various disciplines of medicine and technological areas to develop technologically and socially innovative, people-centred integrated healthcare solutions, fostering the development of safe and effective innovative health technologies through harmonised data generation, enabling faster integration of future products, services, and tools along the healthcare pathway, benefiting patients and industry with innovative manufacturing processes, and supporting the green transition across healthcare delivery and industrial technologies.

The program seeks to fund pre-competitive research and innovation for novel tools, methods, and technologies that improve the prevention, interception, diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases while enabling efficient recovery. Applicants are required to form collaborative public-private partnership consortia capable of addressing the challenge of integrating fragmented health research and innovation efforts, focusing on unmet public health needs and developing tools, data, platforms, technologies, and processes that meet end-user requirements.

Proposals should address unmet public health needs based on disease burden, economic impact, or transformational innovation potential, demonstrate the ability to translate research into solutions that can be integrated into the healthcare ecosystem and/or industrial processes, and include a landscape analysis to avoid overlap and identify potential synergies with existing initiatives.

The funding ranges from €8,000,000 to €60,000,000 across multiple projects, supporting a single-stage Horizon JU Research and Innovation. Eligible participants include any legal entity worldwide that meets the Horizon Europe Regulation requirements.
