The call funds research on the costs, organisation and outcomes of cancer control so that health systems can deliver more equitable and cost-effective care. Research should involve people at risk of cancer, cancer patients and their caregivers.

Que finance cet appel ?

Scope

Proposals should address all of the following:

• Establish, validate or refine methods and models in health economics, health systems, epidemiological or outcomes research to carry out cost-effectiveness and epidemiological analyses that benefit people at risk of cancer and cancer patients.
• Take account of socio-economic inequalities and socio-demographic, organisational and cultural trends, involving people at risk, patients and caregivers through participative research.
• Calculate cancer-control healthcare expenditure and its relation to value-driven care, reflecting local, regional and national differences across EU Member States and Associated Countries.
• Demonstrate how access to and organisation of evidence-based, cost-effective cancer control programmes can be improved in cancer centres, hospitals, at home or in community settings.

Expected outcomes

• People at risk of cancer, patients and caregivers gain access to more effective and cost-effective cancer control programmes.
• Researchers, physicians, innovators and SMEs gain access to data on healthcare spending, such as expenditure, prescriptions, drug pricing, reimbursement and registry data.
• Health systems and policymakers obtain evidence to improve equitable outcomes, address direct and indirect costs and deliver value-driven cancer care.

Collaboration

Projects should build on the resources of the Knowledge Centre on Cancer and join the Cancer Mission "Understanding" cluster, with budget for networking and joint activities.
