Food-borne diseases are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, and a significant impediment to socio-economic development worldwide, but the full extent and burden of unsafe food, and especially the burden arising from chemical and biological hazards, is still largely unknown. 

Successful proposals are expected to address a variety of areas (see p. 182-183 of the work programme). Additionally, successful proposals should deliver support for evidence-based policymaking and related risk assessment activities and implementation needs, in particular for the development of effective regulatory control and enforcement aspects in the area food safety. Engagement with risk managers and risk assessors is expected for priority-setting and to deliver impactful results. Proposals should explain how they will deliver co-benefits to the four Food 2030 priorities. Proposals are encouraged to follow the One Health approach and to build on past or ongoing EU-funded research and cooperation with relevant initiatives. They should have a clear plan on how they will collaborate with other projects. They should participate in joint activities, workshops and common communication and, dissemination activities.
