The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has recently opened its calls for proposals 9 and 10, inviting applications from researchers and innovators. The IHI Call 9 is a single-stage call with five topics, each aligned with one of the IHI’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda’s specific objectives. This call was complemented by a brokerage event in November 2024, which facilitated networking among potential applicants. The deadline for proposals under Call 9 is set for April 29, 2025.

Call 10, on the other hand, is a two-stage process that covers a wide range of topics such as digital labelling of medical technologies, Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl substances in the healthcare sector, and enabling and safeguarding innovation in the secondary use of health data within the European Health Data Space. The deadline for short proposals under Call 10 is April 23, 2025.

For more detailed information on these calls and to apply, interested parties can contact Estefanía Cordero, Manager Communications. The IHI’s efforts are aimed at fostering innovation and research in the health sector, contributing to advancements that can significantly impact public health and medical practices.

The IHI’s initiatives are part of a broader landscape of industry news, where other developments such as Amazemet’s expansion into high-energy laser melting sources and Nikon SLM Solutions’ impressive revenue growth continue to shape the technological advancements in healthcare and beyond. These developments highlight the dynamic nature of the healthcare industry and its ongoing commitment to innovation.

As the dates for these calls approach, it is crucial for potential applicants to ensure they meet all deadlines to maximize their chances of being considered. With strategic planning and thorough preparation, researchers can contribute valuable insights and solutions to pressing health challenges through these calls.
