Remember that the Hospital Clinical Research Program (PHRC) has been setting the milestones for applied research in French health for 30 years by meeting a triple objective:
– boost hospital clinical research with a view to promoting medical progress;
– participate in improving the quality of care through the evaluation of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods;
– scientifically validate new medical knowledge with a view to identifying therapeutic innovations and implementing dissemination strategies in the health system.
Each year, by circular, the General Directorate for Healthcare Supply (DGOS) launches a call for research projects allowing hospital teams to submit applications to obtain funding within the available envelope.
Review of projects between 2012 and 2019
Nadia Aissaoui, medical advisor at the DGOS, presented the results of the projects between 2012 (year of administrative simplification of applications) and 2019 (before the Covid crisis).

At the end of this exploration of PHRCs, there is still much to explore: revised methods of investigation and inclusion, integration of artificial intelligence, interaction with manufacturers, clinical trials in primary care, financing model, etc. support for the hospital clinical research program has been renewed, see you in a few years for the next review!
