Since september, Adisp added around ten references to its catalogue. For most of them is just a new year update into an existing series (RP 2010, SRCV 2011, BDCOM 2012, BCS 2013…). It should be noted the arrival of 2 DREES studies, opening a series concerning health in school environment.
However, the SINE studies series has actually stopped in 2006. INSEE is wondering about the pertinence and the utility of the production of a file for the dissemination of information for the 2010 study.
At the same time, some references have been updated, in particular the 2006 files and the DREES barometers from 2010 to 2012, which have been increased by new socio-demographic variables.
Finally, to counterbalance the departure of two collaborators, Adisp benefits from a CNRS internal mobility procedure (NOEMI), to recruit two engineers.

Support to cohorts for cancer research (2013)

Cancer Plan 2 (2009-2013) aims to accelerate cancer research for etiology, treatment, care or social and environmental inequalities associated to this pathology.

As part of measure number 3 of this Plan (characterizing environmental and behavioral risks), the French Institute for Public Health Research (IReSP) supports, together with the French National Institute of cancer (INCa) the cohorts and the longitudinal studies which contribute to the production of knowledge in the cancer domain.

This call to projects aims to support data and biological resources collection, in order to feed cohortes and longitudinal researches.

Data and collected resources should be inscribed in the perspective of further research projects realization concerning cancer etiology, treatment efficacity and the study of inequalities associated to different steps of the disease.

With this call, IReSP wishes to encourage structuration and improvemet of cohort databases, through complementary biological resources collection and integration of biological, clinical, environmental, behavioral and socio-economical data.

Support mode: projects of 24 months maximum

Total allocated: 300.000€ maximum for project

The projects should be sent before December the 2nd at noon.

The French Health Observation Institute (InVS) is realizing inquiries on population. According to different objectives, these inquiries have been realized among general population or specific groups. Several biological sample collections have been put together.

InVS wishes to provide to the scientific community access to biological sample collections and databases of those inquiries for the development of projects of complementary analysis.

Concerned inquiries are listed below. Links leads to a general description of each inquiry and to other documents useful for teams wanting to lead complementary analysis based on these data.

List of the inquiries with biological samples :

- Nutrition Health Inquiry (ENNS) 2006-2007

- Pilot ENNS 2004

- Nutrition and diet condition of the nutrition help recipients (Abena)

Abena 2004

Abena 2011

- Inquiry on the origin of lead poisoning on kids aged from 6 moths up to 6 years old (Saturn-inf 2008-2009)

- Anaïs pilot inquiry

Interested teams are invited to contact the responsible person indicated in the descriptive form of each inquiry for all precisions needed before submitting the access demand. Afterwards, teams wanting to exploit the data are invited to submit an access demand utilizing this document:

"Fiche_projet_soumission_biothèque" and send it to: aap_biothèque@invs.sante.fr

The propositions will be evaluated by a committee, who will take into account the scientific interest of the application, its feasibility and the thical and regulation conditions. The decision of the authoization to access to data for the demanding team will be decided in a 3 months period.

The access to data is free, nevertheless the fees linked to the exploitation of the biological samples will be at the expense of the demanding team. A technical support concerning data exploitation will be fournished to the teams who will receive the access to data.

This call for project will be closed at the end of 2013
