The draft text of IHI call 12 is now available on the future opportunities page of the IHI website. We plan to launch the call early next year, but we are publishing the draft topics now to give applicants additional time to prepare a strong proposal and join or build a winning consortium.

A single-stage, applicant driven call

As announced recently, IHI call 12 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). We want the health research community to explore our SRIA and mine it for ideas for ambitious, public-private projects that could transform health research and care.

People who have an idea for a project are encouraged to share it through our online brokerage platform and via a pitch at our brokerage event in November. The deadline for applying for a pitching slot is 20 October!

What happens next?

The call text is currently under consultation with our States’ Representatives Group (SRG) and Science and Innovation Panel (SIP). It may therefore change considerably between the version published here and the call launch, and applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once the call is launched.

Nevertheless, we strongly encourage anyone interested in call to start preparing a proposal and get networking with potential partners.

IHI will hold info sessions on call early next year; these will cover the content, our rules and procedures, and the financial aspects of the proposal.
