Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 3
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – paragraph 3
An increasing disease and disability burden in the context of an ageing population places further demands on health and care sectors. If effective health and care is to be maintained for all ages, efforts are required to improvespeed up decision -making inand awareness-raising in disease prevention and treatment provision, to identify and support the dissemination of best practice in the healthcare sector, and to support integrated care and the uptake of technological, organisational and social innovations empowering older persons in particular to remain active and independent. Doing so will contribute to increasing, and lengthening the duration of, their physical, social, and mental well- being.

Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.4 – paragraph 1
There is a need for an improved understanding of health and disease, in people of all ages, so that new and better prevention measures, diagnosis and treatments can be developed. Interdisciplinary, translational research on the patho-physiology of disease is essential to improve the understanding of all aspects of disease processes, including a re- classification of normal variation and disease based on molecular data, and to validate and use research results in clinical applications. Translational research projects aimed at applying laboratory findings more quickly and efficiently into medical practice should be particularly supported, especially in those areas of high unmet need, such as haematology/oncology, rare diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.5 – paragraph 1
Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.5 – paragraph 1
There is a need forto support the development of more effective preventive vaccines (or alternative preventive interventions) and evidence- based vaccination schemes fand evidence-based vaccination schemes for an expanded range of diseases, including poverty-related diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected diseases. Similarly, knowledge about the main risk factors of disease, as well as behavioural science, can be used to devise effective prevention strategies addressing these risk factors an expanded rd aiming at promoting healthy lifestyles and the importangce of diseases.

Annex 1 – part III – point 1 – point 1.11 – paragraph 1
There is a need to support the development of scientific tools, methods and statistics for rapid, accurate and predictive assessment of the safety, efficacy and quality of health technologies including new drugs, biologics, advanced therapies and medical devices. This is particularly relevant for new developments in domains including those concerning vaccines, cell/tissue and gene therapies, organs and transplantation, specialist manufacturing, bio banks, new medical devices, diagnostic/treatment procedures, genetic testing, interoperability, telemedicine and e-health, including privacy aspects. Similarly, support for improved risk assessment methodologies, testing approaches and strategies relating to environment and health are required. There is also a need to support the development of relevant methods for assisting the assessment of ethical aspects of the above domains.
