Innovative Health Initiative call 14 & 15 open in early 2027

The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) partnership has published the draft texts of its upcoming calls for proposals, foreseen to open in early 2027. The following topics are under consideration for inclusion in IHI calls 14 and 15:

IHI call 14 draft topic texts

• Topic 1: Validation of human-relevant novel approaches to accelerate the discovery and pre-clinical development of innovative medicinal products and health technologies 
• Topic 2: Validated, predictive approaches for clinical development of innovative personalised health technologies
• Topic 3: Transforming healthcare delivery through integrated, scalable and patient-centred care systems 
• Topic 4: Advanced therapy medicinal products: Supporting manufacturing and clinical centre readiness in Europe

IHI call 15 draft topic texts

• Topic 1: A common European approach to equitable patient access to compassionate use
• Topic 2: From early endpoints to long-term outcomes: Healthcare decision-making on the use of surrogate evidence for timely patient access

These topics are currently under consultation and may therefore have changed considerably at the moment of the call launch. Applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once they are published. More information is available on the IHI dedicated webpage. Note that these are foreseen to be the last calls launched under the current Horizon Europe programme (2021 - 2027).

IHI is expected to hold info sessions about the calls around the time of the launch; these are expected to cover the topics as well as its rules and procedures.
