Funding rounds

We are pleased to announce that the 19^th Joint Call for Proposals by the EuroQol Working Groups is now OPEN. Download here the full RFP document.

The EuroQol Research Foundation is inviting applications for funding by its competitive research funding programs. The Foundation aims to serve the public interest by supporting scientific research and development of instruments which describe and value health without an aim for profit.

EuroQol has established Working Groups (WGs) which support the research agenda outlined by the Executive Committee (“Exec”). Proposals that seek to address one or more current priorities of the WGs will have a higher probability of funding, noting that strategic priorities and available budget will be key factors in approval of research applications.  For this call, the WGs have reviewed coverage of their aims by the current research portfolio and identified priority areas and alignment with the Strategic Plan. These have been reviewed and endorsed by the Executive Committee.  In addition, the Strategic Plan will guide funding decisions.

Please note:

• The provisional funding available for the current call stands at approximately €3-3.5M. Therefore, the Exec is still willing to consider a range of funding opportunities of benefit to the Group. This includes activities to support research collaboration and dissemination.
• Appendix 3 provides a summary of the types of grants available, ranging from small-scale travel grants to large-scale PhD grants.
• Any time sensitive funding proposals can still be fast tracked using an offline procedure. If you plan to submit a time sensitive proposal, please contact the grants management team (grants@euroqol.org).

Submissions beyond the listed themes are also welcome, however for the best chance to have a funding proposal accepted applicants are encouraged to primarily focus on the priority research areas identified by the Working Groups, as funding in this area will be prioritised. If you have an excellent idea for a research project, we invite you to seek funding for it is through the current call. If you are interested to undertake other activities that have merit to the EuroQol Group, but you are uncertain whether this is in scope, you are invited to contact the grants management team (grants@euroqol.org) for advice and guidance.

Please submit your proposal via https://euroqol-proposals.grantplatform.com

The deadline for submissions is Sunday 13 April 2025 at 23:59 CEST, with the exception of Expressions of Interest for the Education and Outreach Working Group, which has an earlier deadline of Wednesday 26 March 2025 at 12:00 CET.

Good luck with your applications!
