The candidate works will be evaluated in a rigorous process coordinated by the Mniistry for Health's Agency for Health Quality and Assessment of Catalonia (AQUAS), with the participation of international experts in sexual and reproductive health. This evaluation will determine how the funds raised in La Marató 2023 will be distributed, according to the excellence of the work presented. The result of the evaluation will be published by the Board of Trustees of the Foundation based on the proposal of the Scientific Advisory Committee, during the last quarter of 2024.
Over the course of three years, teams from public research centres and non-profit organisations will carry out research projects in sexual and reproductive health.
