Understanding the effects of environmental exposure on the risk of paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers
Funds research into how environmental exposures interact with genetic and lifestyle factors to cause cancer in children, adolescents and young adults.
Award thresholds are stated explicitly: Excellence, Impact and Implementation must each score at least 4 out of 5, with a cumulative threshold of 12. The topic's age group is defined precisely as patients under 40 years old at first cancer diagnosis. Successful proposals are expected to establish collaboration with a named prior-year project, HORIZON-MISS-2024-CANCER-01-01 on UNCAN.eu platform use…
The funder wants large-scale studies — pooling existing cohorts and collecting new data — that identify biomarkers and time windows of susceptibility linking environmental exposures to paediatric, adolescent and young-adult cancer. It expects the use of AI and computational modelling to handle large, complex exposure and health datasets, with all data made available through the future UNCAN.eu research platform.
