The aim of the EU investment in Health research is to improve the health of European citizens, to address global health issues and to boost the competitiveness of European health-related industries.
Each year the Commission publishes calls for proposals to which researchers can apply for collaborative research grants.
The European Commission implements a thorough and transparent evaluation process to identify proposals worthy of funding. The process is firmly grounded in the principle of access for all and the codes of fairness, impartiality, confidentiality, efficiency and ethics.
