A few weeks ago, the French Institute for Public Health Research (IReSP) launched a call for project in order to promote secondary analysis of data already collected.Themes of the call:

- Functioning of the health care system ("health services research")

- Healthy public policy (impact on population health, how it should evolve, conditions for developing, program evaluation and public policy)

- Health determinants (
cross cutting approaches , taking into account the interactions between the various determinants)
Two back-up modalities:

1. Support to research projects carried out by exploiting existing databases
2. Project-definition contract

Projects are expected before the 23 April 2013.

The text of the call and the application files are available on the IreSP website.
