New Horizon Europe Health Calls 2024: Research on the Management of Multiple Chronic Diseases

Under destination 3 of Horizon Europe Health Calls: Tackling diseases and reducing disease burden, focuses on implementation research for the management of multiple long-term conditions (MLTC NCD) in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and/or disadvantaged populations in high-income countries (HICs). Proposals should focus on implementation science around interventions that will generate evidence about when, for whom, and under what circumstances, patient-centred approaches can improve integrated care for patients with MLTC NCD.

The total indicative budget for the topic is €20 million. The Commission estimates that an EU contribution of between €3 million and €4 million would allow these outcomes to be addressed appropriately.

What are the objectives of Horizon Europe Health Calls?
