Emphasis will be put on translational research (translation of basic discoveries into clinical applications including scientific validation of experimental results), the development and validation of new therapies, methods for health promotion and prevention, including promotion of child health, healthy ageing, diagnostic tools and medical technologies, as well as sustainable and efficient healthcare systems.
Erilist tähelepanu pööratakse uurimistulemuste ülekantavusele (alusuuringute ülekanne kliiniliste rakenduste valdkonda, sealhulgas katsetulemuste teaduslik valideerimine), uute raviviiside arendamisele ja valideerimisele, haiguste ennetamise ja tervise edendamise (sealhulgas laste tervise ja tervena vananemise edendamise) meetoditele, diagnostikavahenditele ja meditsiinitehnoloogiale, samuti jätkusuutlikule ja tõhusale tervishoiusüsteemile.
