Updated versions of the draft topics for IHI call 8 are now available on the Future opportunities page. The topics under consideration for inclusion in this two-stage call are:

  • A city-based approach to reducing cardiovascular mortality in Europe
  • Novel endpoints for osteoarthritis (OA) by applying big data analytics
  • Modelling regulatory sandbox mechanisms and enabling their deployment to support breakthrough innovation
  • Patient-centred clinical-study endpoints derived using digital health technologies

The topics are now under consultation with the IHI Governing Board. They may therefore change between the versions published here and the call launch, and applicants should check the final, approved topic texts once the calls are launched.

Nevertheless, we strongly encourage anyone interested in these topics to start preparing a proposal and get networking with potential partners.

The IHI Call Days will run from 17 to 21 June online and will include online sessions on all call topics as well as IHI's rules and procedures. The IHI Call Days platform also allows applicants to network with one another, making the event a great place to start building your consortium.
