Three types of projects can be funded with a max. duration of one year per project.
The call deadline is 23 April 2025 (closes at 17h CEST). All applicants submitting a Cascade Funding Project proposal will be informed of the outcome of the selection process by 15 July 2025. The selected projects will start on 1 September 2025.
As the call is meant to support institutions from across the European Research Area (ERA), only legal entities based in the EU Member States and countries associated to the Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Research and Innovation are eligible to apply. To ensure diversity in the allocation of resources, beneficiaries of the first round of the CoARA Boost Cascade Funding are not eligible to apply. An overview of the 25 projects that were selected in the first round is available in this news article and here.
More information on the context of the call, practical information, the three types of projects, evaluation process and the application platform are available on the Coara Boost project webpage.
The Coara Boost project
CoARA, the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment, offers a platform for collaboration and mutual learning. However, given the complexity of the reform process, providing support for institutions to test, design, and carry out in-depth institutional changes is crucial to implement the Agreement commitments.
The Horizon Europe CoARA Boost project strengthens the operational capacity of CoARA. It provides a means to develop a critical mass for reforming research assessment, to generate gravitas for new members as well as to investigate and implement new models for research assessment.
The project runs for three years until October 2026. The project consortium exists of 9 partners, among others the Marie Curie Alumni Association (MCCA), Science Europe, Young European Research Universities Network (Yerun), and is coordinated by the European Science Foundation (ESF).
€2.33 million of the project’s budget is redistributed to minimum 50 institutions participating the research assessment reform in the form of cascade funding grants.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
