Innovation and Research Development Unit
ICAN’s Innovation and Research Development Unit is entirely dedicated to setting up projects, from conception to completion, including the key stage of seeking funding.
Each research project is unique, and to bring it to fruition ICAN provides investigators with a team of project managers to help them structure the project, identify potential partners within the IHU community but also with private partners, anticipate constraints and regulatory procedures and finally find the most suitable source of funding. Numerous sources of funding exist (local, national, international, public, private), and ICAN is responsible for identifying the best source of funding for each project. In collaboration with the investigators, the scientific operations team adapts the project’s set-up to give it every chance of obtaining funding.
Legal, Compliance and Data Policy Department
The Legal, Compliance and Data Policy Department supports management in the design and implementation of strategy and in risk management. Legal support for risk management covers all areas of law that may apply to ICAN’s activities. This activity has a particular flavour because the Fondation de Coopération Scientifique (a public service research foundation) is a legal entity on the borderline between private and public law. In addition, the constant interaction with our founders, and our shared objectives, achieved in concert, lead us to find original solutions adapted to this complexity.
At the project level, the cluster provides support for the legal, regulatory and partnership aspects of all R&D projects. In particular, the cluster has cutting-edge expertise in health data management.
Communication and Sponsorship Department
ICAN’s Communication and Patronage Department is available to help teams of doctors and researchers promote their innovative projects and create communication tools to enhance the value of their actions in the eyes of their partners.
The aim of the Communications and Sponsorship Department is to develop the IHU’s private resources to support the innovations of its medical and scientific teams.
