Call for PROJECTS – TOPIC 1 (PJ-01-2015)2.1.1.1. Gathering knowledge and exchanging best practices on measures reducing availability of alcoholic beverages

The activities should aim at testing methods/tools and at identifying good practices on reducing heavy episodic drinking amongst young people in different settings and different Member States through measures reducing availability of alcoholic drinks. The activities would also analyse the impact of such measures reducing availability (in terms of reducing harmful alcohol use, in particular heavy episodic drinking amongst young people). Priority should be given to initiatives aiming at identifying good practices targeting young people among the lowest socioeconomic groups and encourage EU networking and good practise exchange.

Available Budget 1.700.000 EUR

17


Call for PROJECTS – TOPIC 2 (PJ-02-2015)2.1.1.2. Early diagnosis and testing of viral hepatitis

The activities will support the development of national hepatitis strategies, screening and treatment guidelines, taking into account available treatment options. It will help to bridge primary, secondary care, and outreach, in the community including prison health services, to facilitate access to and uptake of testing, vaccination and treatment services particularly among key risk groups including drug users, prisoners, homeless, men who have sex with men, sex workers and people living with HIV/AIDS. It will also assess the potentially considerable economic impact of available treatment, testing strategies and vaccination options on health systems, which are under the responsibility of the EU Member States, with a view to inform decisions on balancing access to medicines and vaccines with the financial sustainability of health

systems.


18


Call for PROJECTS – TOPIC 3 (PJ-03-2015)2.1.1.3. Early diagnosis of tuberculosis

The activities aim at improving early diagnosis, strengthening integration of care, and outreach strategies in the community and in prison settings, and will draw on evidence and best practice from low- and high-incidence countries. They will furthermore strengthen national TB responses by supporting the development and implementation of national strategic plans and guidelines with a particular focus on improving the control of multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB and the implementation of evidence based, state of the art diagnostics and treatment options. The action will facilitate collaboration amongst EU Member States particularly in relation to vulnerable groups including migrants, homeless, prisoners and people who inject drugs with a view to support access to and continuity of care…

Available Budget 1.900.000

Call for PROJECTS – TOPIC 4 (PJ-04-2015)2.1.3.1. Support for the implementation and scaling up of good practices in the areas of integrated care, frailty prevention, adherence to medical plans and age- friendly communities

Building upon previous work conducted in these areas, the activities to be addressed will include: (i) identification of benchmarks focusing on successful local interventions with high transferability potential and (ii) support to the twinning, coaching, and/or scaling up of identified good practices on: integrating health and social care in age-friendly community settings; community programmes implementing tools and European guidance on age-friendly communities that use a participatory approach and respond to needs of older people; integrated community-based approach programmes for the screening, assessment, prevention and management of frailty in older

people, and development of interventions for adherence to treatment and medical plans, in particular involving health care professionals, patients in the community, caregivers and community pharmacies.

Available Budget 2.500.000 EUR20


Call for PROJECTS – TOPIC 5 (PJ-05-2015)2.1.4.1. Common assessment methodology on quality,safety and efficacy of transplantation therapies

The activities should develop a framework for assessing and verifying the quality, safety and efficacy of therapies with human tissues and cells. They should include criteria, parameters and methodologies for evaluation. An important focus will be on implementation, i.e. how these parameters and methodologies can be used by clinical actors in their daily practice to assess the quality, safety and efficacy of the tissues/cells clinical applications. The activities should include testing and validation of the proposed framework through prospective and/or retrospective studies. They should include measures to ensure that such a framework can be made available to and shared amongst the clinical actors in the field. They should consult all interested stakeholders, including professional societies and Member States competent authorities in order to ensure the acceptability of the proposed framework at all levels.

Available Budget 1.300.000 EUR21
