Milestone! The Innovative Health Initiative celebrates 200th project
Posted on 05.09.2024
This summer, the Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) marked an important milestone with the launch of its 200th project, highlighting the strength and important contributions of public-private partnerships in shaping the future of healthcare. Read more about the 200 projects and how you can be part of the IHI success story.
For the past 15 years, first with the Innovative Medicines Initiative and continuing with the IHI, this public-private partnership has been harnessing the power of bold collaborations to transform health. It’s 200-strong project portfolio covers important areas such as heart disease (CVD), infectious diseases including antimicrobial resistance, diabetes, dementia, autoimmune diseases, paediatrics and much more.
Between them, these projects are delivering exciting results that make a difference and achieve results in ways that would not be possible for a single organisation to address alone, for example:
- international networks of hospitals and laboratory sites that are being used for clinical studies of novel antibiotics;
- a not-for-profit with resources and expertise in the development of treatments for childhood cancers;
- the identification of different types of diabetes, which could pave the way for more personalised treatments;
- a methodology capable of assessing the degree of Alzheimer’s disease visible in a person’s brain scan;
- resources to help ensure research data is ‘FAIR’, i.e. findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable.
You too can be part of the IHI success story! Keep an eye out on the new calls for proposal that give researchers, civil society organisations, the life-sciences industry, start-ups and others the chance to be part of ambitious projects that are designed to have a tangible impact on research and health care.
