Past SPHN Calls for Proposals
This page contains documents and information on the two Calls for Proposals organised in 2017 and 2018.
No other Call for Proposals within the funding period 2017-2020 is foreseen.
On 15 March 2018, SPHN launched a second Call for Proposals in coordination with the Call for Proposals of the Strategic Focus Area 'Personalized Health and Related Technologies' (PHRT) of the ETH Domain. As for the Call 2017, SPHN contributions were awarded to projects aiming at the development, implementation and validation of data infrastructures that will make health-related data shareable and exchangeable between research institutions and hospitals across Switzerland.
The Call for Proposal 2018 was open to applications in all fields. The International Advisory Board evaluated the applications and provided a shortlist of outstanding proposals in both technical and structural terms. The National Steering Board of SPHN made its final selection based on this shortlist and gave high priority to initiatives that belonged to the following areas:
- Imaging and radiology interoperability*
- Public health and healthy citizens
- Nationwide interoperability of cohorts and registries*
*Project applications in these fields were particularly encouraged as ‘Infrastructure Development projects’.
Submission deadline: 30 June 2018 (23h59 CET).
