Description
This call supports research projects focused on the design and evaluation of healthcare interventions in health promotion and disease prevention. Projects must address real-world health challenges and demonstrate methodological rigor, multidisciplinary collaboration (where relevant), and a clear pathway to scalability. Areas of interest include mental health, women’s health, child and adolescent health, nutrition and healthy lifestyles, healthy ageing, and management of chronic conditions.
The initiative aims to generate robust evidence for interventions that can improve public health outcomes and be integrated into healthcare systems in Spain or Portugal. Both single-institution projects and research consortia are eligible, and inclusion of civil society organizations (CSOs) is encouraged.
