    What this call funds

    This call funds research projects that develop new ways to deliver palliative care to cancer patients earlier and more precisely, including digital and AI tools that help predict patient needs, improve communication between patients, families and clinicians, and support home-based care. Projects should test these models in real clinical settings and produce guidelines to help hospitals allocate staff and refer patients more effectively.
