EU4Health Programme
Supports European health resilience programmes tackling cancer, rare disease tools, cardiovascular prevention, and post-pandemic system readiness.
EU4Health is the European Union's largest standalone health programme since 2003, run by the European Commission with HaDEA under DG SANTE oversight. Created in response to COVID-19, it covers 2021-2027 with about EUR 5.3 billion and focuses on strengthening healthcare resilience across Member States. Its priorities include cardiovascular disease and stroke prevention, orphan medical devices for rare diseases in children, cancer prevention and treatment, and post-COVID system resilience. It is a grant programme open to for-profit organisations, non-profits, universities, and research organisations, while individuals are excluded. Calls and tenders are published through the Funding and Tenders Portal, and applicant support is available through national focal points. EU4Health suits organisations that can translate health policy priorities into delivery, capacity-building, or implementation work at EU scale. The programme follows an annual call rhythm, and it tends to reward proposals that match a named health priority and can move through the HaDEA-managed call process cleanly.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
