IHI contributing partner rules widen 2026 options for health organizations backing EU research projects
SHERIDAN, WYOMING - March 31, 2026 - Health organizations planning 2026 research participation in Europe gain a new route to influence project design, allocate in-kind resources, and support proposals without taking on full private-member status in the Innovative Health Initiative. MedTech Europe points to an 11 February 2026 webinar hosted by the IHI Office, focused on the contributing partner category for organizations that are not affiliated with an IHI private industry member, as well as organizations affiliated with a private member that need to understand how contributing partners can support proposals. The session is positioned around practical participation questions rather than broad program promotion, including eligibility, application steps, contribution rules, and common mistakes.
