Sharing Progress in Cancer Care and Lilly are collaborating and seeking grant proposals in support of improving care of Early Breast Cancer (EBC) patients in Europe.
Thanks to a Quality Improvement Grant from Lilly, we are seeking independent projects with systematic and continuous actions that lead to measurable improvements in the delivery of care and health status of targeted patient groups within specific health systems. Proposals that have the most potential to directly impact the quality of care for EBC patients within European health systems will be prioritised.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) aims to encourage European Healthcare Systems, Cancer Care Centres or Networks to submit Letters of Intent (LOIs) describing concepts and ideas for the implementation of strategies which will measurably improve the quality of care of early breast cancer (EBC) patients.
Scope
SPCC and Lilly are committed to funding projects that:
- Bring the health care team together, including innovative organisations, to understand gaps in practice and develop strategies to improve care/address the gap.
- Further identify quality and performance gaps in the treatment of EBC with deeper analyses and understanding of gaps and needs of those targeted and/or included in the intervention. These can encompass a broad set of areas.
- Facilitate health care systems and providers to engage patients, their caregivers, and families in shared decision-making.
- Use evidence-based educational strategies that are aligned with the desired results of the intervention
