IHI Call 12 Published - Deadline 21 April 2026

IHI (Innovative Health Initiative) call 12 is an applicant-driven call for proposals that calls on applicants to identify ideas for IHI projects in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). The deadline for proposals is 21 April 2026.

IHI call 12 has five topics, aligned with IHI’s five specific objectives as set out in the SRIA.
Under IHI call 12, proposals will 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; and take account of the pre-competitive nature of IHI projects.

From an administrative point of view, IHI call 12 will be a standard, single-stage call for proposals, meaning that applicants will have to ensure that half of their project’s costs are covered by in-kind contributions from IHI’s industry members and (if relevant) IHI contributing partners.

Swiss legal entities are eligible to receive funding under topics 1, 2 and 3, but not eligible to receive funding under topics 4 and 5.

The 3 topics are
-Topic 1 (SO1): Boosting innovation for a better understanding of the determinants of health
-Topic 2 (SO2): Boosting innovation through better integration of fragmented health R&I efforts
-Topic 3 (SO3): Boosting innovation for people-centred integrated healthcare solutions
