IHI (Innovative Health Initiative) 12th Call For Proposals

The Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU) is a partnership between the European Union and health industry associations. IHI JU aims to translate health research and innovation into real benefits for patients and society, and ensure that Europe remains at the cutting edge of interdisciplinary, sustainable, patient-centric health research. Under IHI call 12, proposals must address an unmet public health need; require a large-scale, ambitious, cross-sector, public-private partnership; have clearly-described impacts on society, the economy and science; take account of the pre-competitive nature of IHI projects; and contribute to strengthening the competitiveness of the EU's health industries and the implementation of relevant EU policies. The call includes 5 topics covering health determinants, integration of health R&I efforts, people-centred healthcare solutions, digitalisation and data exchange in healthcare, and assessment of innovative integrated healthcare solutions. Applicants must ensure that at least 45% (ideally 50%+) of their project's costs are covered by in-kind contributions from IHI's industry members and contributing partners.
