ABOUT THE CALL FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS “RECHERCHE HOSPITALO-UNIVERSITAIRE EN SANTÉ” (RHU)
The call for research proposals “Recherche Hospitalo-Universitaire en santé” (RHU), issued under the French Investing in the Future Programme (PIA), run by the French National Research Agency (ANR), aims to support innovative, large-scale research projects in the healthcare sector. Focused on translational health research that seeks to establish a continuum between fundamental and clinical research, RHU projects federate players from the academic, hospital and corporate sectors who are eligible for funding of between € 4 and 10M.
For this fifth round, the international jury reviewed 89 proposals based both on criteria of scientific and innovation quality, and also on their potential in terms of the eventual medical and social-economic benefits. The jury proposed to select and fund 17 projects covering therapeutic areas and a diverse range of medical needs. These 17 projects will receive an exceptional financial aid of € 142M from the French Investing in the Future Programme.
The highly collaborative winning projects federate a total of 150 partners, including 28 Healthcare Institutions. Since 2015, the Investing in the Future Programme has provided funding for 56 RHU projects, representing a financial assistance of some € 447M.
