Call for projects 2023 for CCU-AH positions

The 5th National Plan "development of palliative care and end-of-life support" 2021-2024 includes support for research among its priorities.

In this context, it provides for the creation of positions for university clinical leaders - hospital assistants (CCU-AH) in palliative medicine. The funding of these positions will enable teams to better structure their research activity. The aim is to build up a pool of future university hospitalists across France.

The first call for projects, launched in 2022, has already resulted in the funding of three CCU-AH positions.

This second call for projects focuses on palliative care research projects likely to justify the temporary allocation of clinical supervisor positions. It is aimed at post-graduate students in the final year of their Diploma of Specialized Studies (DES), candidates who have validated their DES less than three years ago, and CCU-AHs under other DEASs at the end of their second year of clinical practice. The latter will have to demonstrate their interest in palliative care either through validation or enrolment in a Master 2 diploma, or through completion of cross-disciplinary specialist training, a DU or DIU, or prior clinical experience in this field.

Applicants will need to propose a research project envisaged as part of a Master 2 research, PhD or post-doctorate type of training, with an attachment (current or planned) to a research team listed in the national directory of the National Platform for End-of-Life Research.
