Objective Research addressing sex and gender (S&G) in biomedical sciences and health care research is emerging as a novel and highly promising field. Interaction of S&G related mechanisms leads to different manifestation of frequent diseases such as infarction, heart failure, diabetes, rheumatic disease, etc. in women and men. Research in this area will lead to novel, better targeted and therefore more efficient treatment strategies than the previous global approaches and will increase prevention and healthy life expectancy .We suggest to produce an innovative roadmap for implementation of S&G in biomedicine and health research. To achieve these objectives we will develop EUGENMED into an open European Gender Health Network that includes all stakeholders and decision makers.We will organize 6 meetings with all stakeholders that will result in recommendations, guidelines and teaching materials for the implementation of S&G research for target audiences, doctors, medical associations, teachers, students, researchers, industry, health policy makers, funding agencies and politicians. Materials shall be disseminated through a European Gender Health Portal. The aim is to create a truly multi- sectorial sourcing of knowledge, a key factor for building consensus and helping close the participatory governance gaps. Inclusiveness, openness and transparency will be key principles. Dissemination of S&G strategies to the next generation of medical interventions and therapies shall improve the health of European citizens. Project outcomes will be fed into relevant policy processes at the EU level e.g. Horizon 20/20. EUGENMED will lead to significant innovations by introducing S&G into medical practice and research and improve European citizens’ health and Europe’s standing in biomedicine.Keywords:Gender Medicine, biomedicine, health care research, pharmacology Fields of science social scienceseducational sciencesdidacticssocial sciencessociologygovernancemedical and health sciencesclinical medicineendocrinologydiabetesmedical and health sciencesclinical medicinecardiologymedical and health sciencesbasic medicinepharmacology and pharmacy Programme(s) FP7-HEALTH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Health Topic(s) HEALTH.2013.4.1-4 - Preparing the future for health research and innovation Call for proposal FP7-HEALTH-2013-INNOVATION-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CSA-SA - Support actions Coordinator CHARITE - UNIVERSITAETSMEDIZIN BERLIN EU contribution € 250 000,00 Address Chariteplatz 1 10117 Berlin Germany See on map Region Berlin Berlin Berlin Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Eveline Fräßdorf (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (2) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITEIT MAASTRICHT Netherlands EU contribution € 148 000,00 Address MINDERBROEDERSBERG 4 6200 MD Maastricht See on map Region Zuid-Nederland Limburg (NL) Zuid-Limburg Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Sabina Bulic (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data EUROPEAN INSTITUTE OF WOMEN'S HEALTH COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE Ireland EU contribution € 98 000,00 Address ASHGROVE HOUSE ASHGROVE INDUSTRIAL ESTATE KILL AVENUE DUN LAOGHAIRE A96 N9K0 DUBLIN See on map Region Ireland Eastern and Midland Dublin Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Peggy Maguire Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data
