Innovative Health Initiative Joint Undertaking (IHI JU)

Boosting innovation for people-centred integrated healthcare solutions

Funds public-private research that makes integrated healthcare solutions feasible and better matched to what patients and citizens actually need.

Single-stage RIA proposals are capped at 50 pages for Part B. Beyond the core form, several annexes are compulsory: a detailed budget-and-participants table, a declaration of in-kind contribution commitment, and a statement on clinical studies -- even a proposal with no clinical studies at all must upload a declaration saying so. A separate annex for in-kind contributions to additional activities …

Applicants define their own project within this objective, but outcomes must contribute to the feasibility of people-centred, integrated healthcare solutions — including digital tools for home care, better patient adherence to prevention and treatment, and closer cooperation between patients, citizens and industry in designing care.
