Health promotion and prevention; application for funding as part of the "Gesund.Leben.Bayern." initiative

With the Gesund.Leben.Bayern. initiative, the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention promotes knowledge-based and quality-assured model projects that take into account individual behavior and conditions in the living environment.

Description

Purpose and object of the funding

The aim of the Gesund.Leben.Bayern. (GLB) initiative is to promote and support prevention measures. The focus is on the four central fields of action of the Bavarian Prevention Plan:

  • Growing up healthy in the family, in daycare centers, in other child and youth welfare facilities and at school
  • Health literacy in the world of work and corporate prevention culture
  • Healthy ageing in a self-determined living environment
  • Equal health opportunities

Preference is also given to projects that strengthen health literacy and are related to the prevention priorities of the Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention (StMGP). Detailed information on this can be found at www.stmgp.bayern.de/service/foerderprogramme/gesund-leben-bayern.

Funding recipients

The projects can be planned and implemented by a variety of partners. Applicants can be, among others: Colleges and universities, associations, charities, healthcare stakeholders and institutions and others.

Eligible costs

Only personnel and material expenses that are causally related to the project, are necessary for the implementation of the project and comply with the principles of efficiency and economy are eligible for funding. Investment costs are not eligible for funding.

Amount of the grant

There are no fixed requirements for maximum financial support. When drawing up the financial plan, a 20% own contribution must be taken into account. Non-university institutions must also contribute half of their own contribution, i.e. 10% of the total project budget, in cash.

Prerequisites

A prerequisite for funding from the health initiative is that the implementation of the project has not yet begun and will not begin before the funding decision is announced.

Advertising measures for products, individual companies or persons are not eligible for funding. It is therefore important that neutral partners who are subject to binding forms of financial reporting and organization are involved.

Project evaluation is essential.

Procedure

Applications can be submitted to the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL) all year round. All applications received are assessed in a multi-stage procedure and submitted to the StMGP for a decision. Applications should therefore be submitted sufficiently in advance of the planned start of the project. We recommend submitting your application at least four months before the planned start of the project.

Please use the current application form and the cost and financing plan to submit your application. The documents are available for download in the "Forms" section. Here you will also find detailed "Information for applicants".

The Bavarian Centre for Prevention and Health Promotion (ZPG) at the LGL will provide you with expert advice and the LGL's funding department will handle the organizational aspects of the funding.

Special notes

Guiding principles of the health initiative:

  • Priority is given to health promotion and primary prevention projects over secondary and tertiary prevention approaches within the above-mentioned fields of action.
  • Preference will be given to projects that intervene in a setting-oriented manner ("setting approach") or that represent an effective combination of individual-related behavioral prevention and environment-related relationship prevention.
  • Projects should be socially inclusive and include gender and migration aspects. The aim is to reduce social inequality.
  • Knowledge-based, evaluation and quality management of all measures are important funding criteria. The current scientific status must be presented in the project description. Suitable project-related evaluation strategies for achieving objectives should already be included at the planning stage.
  • Projects should include participatory elements where appropriate, such as active involvement of the target group in planning, implementation or evaluation.
  • Projects should be innovative, have a model character and a possible future transfer should be taken into account from the outset, e.g. also by creating transfer aids and considering the structural requirements of the potential transfer partner as early as the project planning stage.
  • Where possible, projects should be carried out in collaborations that can serve as a sustainable basis for the continuation of proven projects. Practical-scientific collaborations are particularly desirable, including intersectoral collaborations that can effectively and sustainably address the problems with a common objective.

Other information

  • Before submitting an application, a project outline and a cost and financing plan must be submitted to the LGL. The project outline should be two pages long.
  • The basic maximum funding period is two years.
  • After receiving the grant notification, a one-page project description must be submitted for the Health Initiative website.
  • For projects with more than one year of funding, an interim report must be submitted once a year in electronic form. The form is provided by the LGL.
  • Within six months of completion of the funded project, the funding recipient must submit a final and self-evaluation report to the LGL in electronic form and, if necessary, additional data required for an evaluation. The templates for the final and self-evaluation reports will be provided by the LGL. The grant recipient undertakes to collect and document the relevant data required to prepare a meaningful self-evaluation report during the project period.
  • The use of the project funds must be documented. The proof of use must be submitted to the LGL within six months.
  • No funding from other budget funds of the Free State of Bavaria may be used for measures that are funded in accordance with these principles. If federal or EU funds are granted for this purpose, the state funding will be reduced accordingly. The grant applied for is a subsidy within the meaning of § 264 StGB (subsidy fraud). The facts relevant to the granting of the subsidy are subsidy-relevant within the meaning of Section 264 StGB. A declaration to this effect must be submitted with the grant application.
