Dear HIFA colleagues,
On behalf of the HIFA Partnerships and Projects working group I would like to invite expressions of interest for new HIFA Projects in 2025.
Sponsored HIFA Projects are the backbone of HIFA. They leverage the HIFA community to explore *your* priority global health issue in depth. Projects are proposed and sponsored by any of our 400+ HIFA Supporting Organisations [ https://www.hifa.org/support/supporting-organisations ] or other appropriate partner. Every Project is a win-win for the supporting organisation/sponsor, for HIFA members at large, and for HIFA's sustainability (Projects provide two-thirds of our income).
How do they work? Each Project convenes a working group to implement an extended exploration of the sponsor's priority topic among HIFA's 20,000 members in 180 countries, interacting 24/7 in four languages. Each Project includes deep-dive thematic discussions, each lasting 4-6 weeks, with the option to complement these with interactive webinars. Outputs include shared understanding and awareness, structured summaries, conference presentations, academic papers and raising awareness for your organisation and your priority issue.
We are ready to schedule new Projects in 2025. For more information - and testimonials from our current sponsors - see www.hifa.org/projects
We have already received expressions of interest for a number of Projects in 2025 on different global health issues.
Please email your comments and suggestions to the forum hifa@hifaforums.org or to me neil@hifa.org
Many thanks and best wishes, Neil
