The Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) has published the draft texts of topics under consideration for inclusion in the next calls for proposals on the Future Opportunities page of the website. Currently, the draft topics are under consultation and it is therefore likely that the topics may change considerably between now and the call launch, and applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.

IHI is planning webinars and a brokerage opportunities around the time of the call launches to help applicants learn more about the topics as well as IHI’s rules and procedures. Herewith an overview of the draft topics:
