THCS launches today (23/02/2024) its second Joint Transnational Call (JTC). This year’s call focuses on proposals aiming to support the implementation of innovative person-centered health and care models addressing prevention strategies, with the key help of existing IT and digital technologies and services. More than 30 funding agencies participate with an indicative budget of more than 34 million €.
Funding Opportunities
The European Partnership on Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) brings the opportunity to coordinate and optimize research and innovation efforts in Europe and its partner countries supporting the much-needed transformation of health and care systems.
Under this umbrella, the second Joint Transnational Call for proposals “Innovate to Prevent: Personalized Prevention in Health and Care Services” has the ambition 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.
In particular, the 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.
