Evidence-based, innovative solutions that support people who want to adopt a healthy lifestyle. That is the goal of the Institute for Preventive Health’s multidisciplinary research.
Our work brings together researchers, professionals and societal partners across disciplines, at the intersection of lifestyle, environment and technology. While our research content is organised into four thematic Research Lines — Healthy Start, Preserving Health, Living with Disease and Health@Home — i4PH also supports collaboration through a set of dedicated Research Initiatives.
These initiatives help researchers and partners connect, develop new ideas and strengthen the societal relevance of preventive health research.
How we help
Our research initiatives
Seed Funding
Through seed calls and seed funding, i4PH supports small-scale initiatives that help researchers explore new interdisciplinary collaborations, develop promising ideas and prepare for larger grant applications.

Preventive Health Transition Pathways
Every major transition starts with imagining a different future. Our four Preventive Health Pathways are designed to support that process. Grounded in scientific evidence, policy analysis, stakeholder interviews, and input from citizens and experts, the pathways provide different perspectives for systemic change. At the EWUU institute for Preventive Health, the pathways help us translate our shared ambition into concrete action. We use them as a compass for shaping our research agenda, developing new collaborations, guiding seed-funded projects, and bringing together partners from science, policy, healthcare, industry, and society.

Call for Partners
i4PH invites public and private partners to participate in research projects. By connecting knowledge, technologies and real-world challenges, we work together on sustainable solutions with societal impact.
Health Holland Programme
Through the Health Holland Programme, i4PH contributes to public-private collaboration on preventive health innovation. The Tailored Lifestyle programme brings together expertise in behaviour, technology, lifestyle and living environment to support healthier choices and reduce health inequalities.

Citizen Advisory Panel
The Citizen Advisory Panel brings together people with diverse life experiences who reflect on research and share perspectives on everyday life. This helps researchers better connect their questions, methods and communication to the realities of the people their research aims to support. The panel can contribute at different stages of the research process, from idea development to dissemination and societal impact.
