UCB Community Health Fund: COVID-19 impact on the health of young people
Addressing the medium- and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of young people from the most vulnerable communities, including racial and ethnic minorities, refugees and asylum seekers, those with disabilities and certain health conditions, and those who are socio-economically disadvantaged.
The mission of the UCB Community Health Fund is to address health disparities among vulnerable populations, starting by contributing to understand and reduce the medium- and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their physical and mental health, and social well-being. More specifically, the Fund wants to support vulnerable people, including racial and ethnic minorities, children, young people, older people, socio-economically disadvantaged persons, un(der)insured or those with certain medical conditions unrelated to therapeutic areas nor assets of UCB, in the communities where UCB is active.
This first Call for Projects aims to understand and reduce the medium- and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the health of vulnerable young people (15-24 years old) from the most vulnerable communities.
