Scope:Proposals should focus on lessons learnt: they should i) address how to mitigate social and economic impacts of the outbreak response related to health systems; ii) identify non-intended consequences of epidemic-control decisions; and iii) provide answers to social, including gendered, dynamics of the outbreak and the related public health response. Proposals should analyse the effects and efficiency of these responses (including resilience factors), democratic governance, multi-level cooperation, the critical gaps and the various exit strategies, their underlying methodologies and regional adaptations. Proposals are expected to develop guidelines and best ‘next practices’, and implement interventions to mitigate impacts and boost wellbeing.
In particular, in their proposals the applicants are encouraged to integrate multiple medical, social sciences and humanities disciplines, including anthropology, psychology, sociology, epidemiology, implementation science, journalism & communication, economics and political sciences, as well as gender studies and intersectional research to address the following inter-related dimensions:

Proposals are expected to develop guidelines and best ‘next practices’, and implement interventions to mitigate impacts and boost wellbeing.
In particular, in their proposals the applicants are encouraged to integrate multiple medical, social sciences and humanities disciplines, including anthropology, psychology, sociology, epidemiology, implementation science, journalism & communication, economics and political sciences, as well as gender studies and intersectional research to address the following inter-related dimensions:
Analyse and compare outbreak responses across Europe and impacts on human behaviour and social dynamics by different regions and countries, taking into account societal and cultural structures, health system preparedness and resilience, population densities, population risk groups, climate, pollution, among other factors. Proposals are encouraged to develop guidance for health behavioural patterns to positively influence adherence to behavioural advice and prevent disinformation about health issues and confinement, isolation and social distancing at societal, community and individual levels. Furthermore, the proposals should study factors contributing to the use of harmful self-medication and in anticipation of possible hesitancy towards vaccines.Mental health and health inequalities: The proposals should address the immediate and long-term mental health impact in relation to, for example, confinement and social isolation, time spent indoors, repeated media and technology consumption, and disruption of work/school-life balance. They should also address the potential exacerbation of health inequalities affecting a number of vulnerable groups. These could be frontline healthcare workers (a majority of which are women), who might face ethical challenges, suboptimal working conditions and suffer from traumatic stress. In addition, proposals could focus on mental health and health inequalities impacts for elderly and other age groups, people with pre-existing conditions and comorbidities and those with precarious socio-economic conditions (e.g. migrants, the homeless and/or unemployed). The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 4 and 10 million would allow this specific topic to be addressed appropriately. Of note, a proposal requesting the maximum envisioned contribution must be able to deliver on all the dimensions mentioned above, to include partners from a wide range of disciplines and to deliver results that are representative of the whole EU27 and associated countries. Moreover, in case there is more than one funded project, cooperation, communication, collaboration and coordination across research groups will be strongly encouraged.
Expected Impact:To improve the resilience, wellbeing and mental health of the population, frontline workers and, in particular, of the most vulnerable groups and mitigate health inequalities during and after pandemics.To contribute to a better understanding of the impact, effectiveness, the public health preparedness and responses (control) that have been taken at different governance levels in the context of the ongoing epidemic of COVID-19 in terms of; acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, implementation cost, coverage, sustainability of diagnosis and clinical management of patients and survivors infected by SARS-CoV-2 as well as front line workers and communities.To prepare holistic assessments of the social, economic and political impacts of the outbreak and its responses, and to propose and deploy evidence-based policy measures (transferable best practices, methodologies) and other initiatives to improve industry’s and society’s adaptation capacity and resilience as well as supporting the availability of critical technologies and tools (during and after a shutdown) that accelerate and enable a fast recovery of the current healthcare emergency.To contribute to a holistic public health preparedness and response in the context of ongoing and future epidemics.To provide health authorities with guidance for further public health interventions, and to support implementation of actions to; mitigate or manage consequences of current policies, and to better tailor future pandemic management strategies e.g. on confinement.To deliver results within 3 - 36 months to end-users at scale.

Características del Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante

7. Additional obligations
Data sharing
Beneficiaries in grants awarded under this call for expression of interest must make available their research data, at the latest within 30 days after it has been generated, through open access or, if agreed by the Commission, by giving access rights to those third parties that need the research data to address the public health emergency. Therefore the relevant option of Article 29.3 (option 1c) of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement will apply.
The use of harmonised protocols in collaboration with other actors is recommended for this purpose.
Beneficiaries must make the research data accessible and re-usable through appropriate platforms (such as the data-sharing platform), following guidelines communicated by the Commission.
The relevant option of Article 29.1 of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement will apply.
It is expected that quality-controlled data are shared in accordance with the FAIR principles.
A draft data management plan (DMP) must be submitted preferably with the proposal and at the latest before the signature of the grant agreement. The DMP should address the relevant aspects of making the data FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, including what data the project will generate, whether and how the data will be made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be circulated and preserved. A template for such a plan is given in the guidelines on data management in the H2020 Online Manual.
Costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement if incurred during the project duration under the conditions set out in the grant agreement.
Exploitation obligations
In the context of the public health emergency, additional exploitation obligations apply, to ensure that results or resulting products/services (i.e. products or services developed based on results generated in the action) will be available and accessible, as soon as possible and at fair conditions. This will include an obligation to license on a non-exclusive basis and at fair and reasonable conditions.
The scope of the additional exploitation obligations will be discussed in more detail with successful applicants/participants at due time.
To enhance the exploitation of results, beneficiaries must provide a "results ownership list" (ROL) together with the final report and use the Horizon results platform.
The option of Article 28.1 of the Model Grant Agreement will apply and the necessary provisions will be inserted in Annex 1.
Right to object to transfers of ownership and exclusive licences
The relevant option of Article 30.3 of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement will apply.
