GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The Programme aims to improve and promote health in the Union to reduce the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases by:

• protecting people from serious cross-border health threats
• improving the availability, accessibility and affordability of medicines, medical devices and other crisis-related products in the EU
• strengthening national health systems

Project budgets (maximum grant amount) are expected to range between €500.000 and €1.000.000 per project.

The grant will be a budget-based mixed actual cost grant (actual costs, with unit cost). This means that it will reimburse ONLY certain types of costs (eligible costs) and costs that were actually incurred for your project (NOT the budgeted costs). The costs will be reimbursed at the funding rate fixed in the Grant Agreement (60%). Your organisation can apply for a higher project funding rate (80%) if your project is of “exceptional utility”. Actions shall be considered to have exceptional utility where at least 30% of the budget of the operating grants is allocated to activities in (one or more) Member States whose Gross Net Income per inhabitant is less than 90% of the EU average.

In order to be eligible for funding, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must be legal entities (public or private bodies), established in EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs)) or listed EEA countries and countries associated to the EU4Health Programme (list of participating countries).
