Objectiu de la convocatòria
The ERA4Health Partnership aims to strengthen coordination among European funding organisations to promote transnational research addressing public health needs. Within this framework, the Prevent‑OO 2026 Joint Transnational Call seeks to support multidisciplinary research projects focused on understanding and preventing overweight and obesity, with the goal of reducing its burden in Europe through targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies.
|
Característiques principals
Project proposals must focus on one of two topics, and address at least one of its specified subtopics:
Understanding of the causes for obesity, overweight and its complications by using a mechanistic approach: Exploration of the biological and genetic mechanisms underlying overweight and obesity, including relevant environmental or lifestyle factors, and/or their contribution to clinical complications or therapeutic outcomes.
Prevention and public health strategies for critical transitional periods of life: Focusing on neglected determinants of overweight and obesity during critical life transitions, and/or developing implementable preventive tools or strategies — taking into consideration physiological, behavioral, and socioeconomic factors — and evaluating their potential economic impact to inform policy and guide public health interventions.
