Very many thanks for everything! The other EU project in which we participate and which is similar in scope is named Project: 101287389 - SUPPORT-Y; SUPPORTING THE MENTAL HEALTH OF YOUTH IN EDUCATION, TRAINING AND WORK. In the other EU projects our part is mostly health economic evaluation of new and innovative medical technologies and policy work. Not relevant for this call I believe. From the innovation fonds in Germany we have a grant of around 9 Mio. Euros for the project "frühstArt": it features a home-based counseling intervention for families with overweight / obese children aged 3 to 6 years regarding nutrition, exercise, sleeping and media use. The goal is to establish health promoting routines in the families. Also I am a (founding) member of the steering committee of the German Network of Health Literacy, part of the working group health literacy of the German Health Services Research Network, and part of the working group "prevention" of the German Cancer Society. Is this helpful or would you like any other information? Kind regards and many thanks, Stephanie Mit freundlichem Gruß/ With kind regards Univ.-Prof. Dr. med.

Hopefully Giulia will still be able to include IFT as a partner tomorrow. We need to finalise the project budget tomorrow, so any additional information you may have on IFT's other costs would be helpful. Can we try to emphasise as much as possible IFT's institutional links, to avoid making the governance of the intervention too different from the other countries. I have seen on their website that they are implementing programmes on behalf of the federal public health institute. Dropping the environmental component would be acceptable. I look forward to hearing more from you tomorrow.

Quickly some points form today. 1. Stephanie will work on the proposal document as required in your email tomorrow. 2. Sadly, the BGF institute has withdrawn their initial confirmation to participate in WP6. This being said, Stephanie and I are in conversations with the IFT Nord to also fill the gap for the intervention implementation of the young adult age group (18 to 25) at vocational schools (Berufsschulen) besides their initial commitment for the younger group. 3. Also, it seems better to list the IFT Nord also as an intervention/project partner (as, e.g., IPH) if this is still feasible. The PIC Number is: 926293935 https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/how-to... Our key contacts are Prof. Dr. Reiner Hanewinkel hanewinkel@ift-nord.de<mailto:hanewinkel@ift-nord.de> and Dr. Barbara Isensee isensee@ift-nord.de<mailto:isensee@ift-nord.de> IFT-Nord Institut für Therapie- und Gesundheitsforschung gemeinnützige GmbH Harmsstr. 2 24114 Kiel Web: www.ift-nord.de<http://www.ift-nord.de/> 4. As to the UoC budget, we might need an additional 2 PM for the UoC if the PMs for WP6 are allocated to IFT Nord. If feasible, the IFT Nord would also require 35 PM. I am waiting for a breakdown of their other costs, etc. 5. Lastly, it seems difficult for the German intervention to conduct an intervention related to Subtask 5.3.3 Health-promoting environments and nudges intervention (EHNet, ICL). I hope it is ok to leave this part out of the package. Thank you again and let's talk digitally tomorrow afternoon at 4pm UK time. Best wishes, Daniel Anfang der weitergeleiteten Nachricht: Von: "Birnkammer, Markus" <markus.birnkammer@bgf-institut.de<mailto:markus.birnkammer@bgf-institut.de>> Betreff: Rückmeldung EU-proposal Z-Health intervention Datum: 13.

Wiesen, hallo Stephanie, vielen Dank für die Anfrage und das angenehme Gespräch zum Projektvorhaben. Nach interner Rücksprache und sorgfältiger Überlegung müssen wir leider mitteilen, dass wir an diesem Projekt nicht teilnehmen können. Uns ist die Entscheidung wirklich nicht leichtgefallen, da wir Ihr Konzept sehr spannend finden und den Austausch mit Ihnen als sehr bereichernd erlebt haben. eider lassen unsere aktuellen Projekte und Prioritäten momentan keine zusätzliche Beteiligung in der gewünschten Form zu. Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg und gutes Gelingen bei der weiteren Umsetzung. Vielleicht ergibt sich zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wieder eine passende Gelegenheit zur Zusammenarbeit - darüber würden wir uns sehr freuen.
