Improving the quality of life of persons with intellectual disabilities and their families

Proposals under topic HORIZON-HLTH-2025-03-STAYHLTH-01-two-stage should aim to deliver results that are directed at, tailored towards and contributing to several of the following expected outcomes:

• Persons with intellectual disabilities and their families enjoy an improved quality of life, are empowered and have more independence through the support of innovative research.
• The scientific community develops innovative solutions - medical, technological, digital or others - to reverse and/or reduce the severity level of the intellectual disability as soon as possible, especially in children, improving the health and autonomy of persons with intellectual disabilities and relieving their carers.
• Policymakers, health and care services, patient organisations, funders, the scientific community, and other relevant bodies are informed of the research advances and best practices addressing the health and needs of persons with intellectual disabilities and help reduce the impact of those disabilities on individuals, their families and society.
