Supports piloting and implementation of prostate cancer screening programmes in the EU, focusing on AI integration, research, and cross-border collaboration.

--- ## Description This funding opportunity aims to enhance the planning, piloting, and roll-out of prostate cancer screening programmes across EU Member States. The action is aligned with the 2022 Council Recommendation and forthcoming European Guidelines on cancer screening. It emphasizes integrating new AI-based screening technologies, reducing disparities in detection and access, and fostering collaboration among experts, patient organizations, and national authorities. Activities may include implementation research, aggregation and analysis of imaging datasets for cross-border cooperation, outcome and quality assurance data collection, and effective dissemination of knowledge and best practices. The programme encourages synergy with other European initiatives, particularly those advancing AI in health and cancer imaging, to strengthen evidence and impact in prostate cancer screening. --- ## Due Dates - Call opens: September 23, 2025 - Application deadline: January 6, 2026, 17:00 Brussels time --- ## Funding Amount - Total indicative budget for this topic: **€7,440,000** - Single-stage application process - Award size and duration are not specified; refer to the call document for details --- ## Eligibility - Open to legal entities established in eligible countries as defined in the call document (primarily EU Member States and associated countries). - Proposals should involve collaboration among national/regional authorities, research organizations, and relevant stakeholders. - Further eligibility details can be found in section 6 of the [call document](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/wp-call/2026/call-fiche_eu4h-2026-sante-pj_en.pdf). --- ## Application Process - **Submission:** Single-stage process via the [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/EU4H-2026-SANTE-PJ-03?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate). - **Application templates:** Use the [standard application form (EU4H)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/temp-form/af/af_eu4h_en.pdf) and [detailed budget table](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/temp-form/af/detailed-budget-table_eu4h_en.xlsx). - **Evaluation:** Criteria and thresholds described in Section 9 of the call document. - **Supporting resources:** Info session materials, FAQs, and guidance are available via the [EU4H-2026-SANTE-PJ Info session](https://hadea.ec.europa.eu/events/info-session-eu4health-action-grants-awp-2025-2025-10-09_en) and the [Online Manual](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Online+Manual). --- ## Additional Information - Proposals should address implementation research, cross-border data analysis, quality assurance, and dissemination. - Strong emphasis on integrating AI in screening and fostering collaboration with other EU projects (e.g., Cancer Image Europe, PRAISE-U, EUCanScreen). - All proposal requirements, including admissibility, financial/operational capacity, and legal set-up, are detailed in the [call document](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/wp-call/2026/call-fiche_eu4h-2026-sante-pj_en.pdf). --- ## External Links - [Call details and submission portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/EU4H-2026-SANTE-PJ-03?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=3&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [Call document (PDF)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/wp-call/2026/call-fiche_eu4h-2026-sante-pj_en.pdf) - [Application form template](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/temp-form/af/af_eu4h_en.pdf) - [Detailed budget table template](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/eu4h/temp-form/af/detailed-budget-table_eu4h_en.xlsx) - [EU4H-2026-SANTE-PJ Info session (recording, slides, FAQs)](https://hadea.ec.europa.eu/events/info-session-eu4health-action-grants-awp-2025-2025-10-09_en) - [Online Manual](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Online+Manual) - [General FAQ](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/faq) --- ## Contact Information | Purpose | Contact Details | |------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | General call queries | HaDEA-HP-CALLS@ec.europa.eu | | Funder general info | [European Commission contact page](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | | IT/helpdesk support | [IT Helpdesk Contact Form](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/helpdesks/contact-form) | | Phone (Commission) | +32 2 299 11 11 |
