The Innovative Health Initiative is looking to fund interdisciplinary projects tackling shortcomings in heart disease management, data (under)use, biomarkers, healthcare workforce and long-term management of illnesses

The European Health Initiative (IHI) has a new set of calls for interdisciplinary projects open this spring, looking to inject €120 million, to be matched by industry, in health research and innovation. 

There are five topics across two calls this year, with deadlines in April and May. IHI is looking for projects dealing with heart disease management, data (under)use, biomarkers, healthcare workforce and long-term management of illnesses.

IHI‘s goal is to fill gaps in health research and innovation that cannot be tackled by a single company or organisation. Some challenges are simply too big – and it‘s exactly those challenges that the IHI tackles by bringing together public EU and private industry resources.
