Learn about our future calls for proposals

We publish draft information on future call topics a few months ahead of the official call launch. We do this to give you additional time to find or build a consortium and prepare a strong proposal. Note that as draft topics are still under development, the texts may change considerably between the versions published here and the call launch, and you should always check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.

IHI is currently preparing two calls for proposals, both of which are scheduled for launch in early 2025.

Sign up for the IHI Call Days and our session on contributing partners

Registration is now open for the IHI Call Days for calls 9 and 10, which will run from 7 to 16 January 2025. The info sessions cover both the call topics and IHI's rules and procedures plus (for IHI call 9), the financial aspects for single-stage calls.

Current and potential contributing partners should also attend our info session on contributing partners, which will be held on 30 January 2025.

IHI call 9 – a single-stage, applicant driven call

IHI call 9 will be a single-stage, applicant-driven call with five topics aligned with the five specific objectives set out in the IHI Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). For this call, we want applicants to explore the SRIA and identify untapped opportunities that could be transformed into public-private projects through IHI.

Proposals will still have to adhere to the philosophy of IHI. In other words, they will have to: 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.

IHI call 10 – a standard, two-stage call

The topics under consideration for inclusion in this call are:

 

Get networking

If you want to apply to take part in a new IHI project, one of your first tasks will be to find or build an applicant consortium, and to do this, you will need to find partners. Tips on finding partners can be found on our find partners page.
