The main stages in setting up a project
Project set-up
ICAN’s Scientific Operations team 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. There are many sources of funding (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 structure to give it all the advantages it needs to obtain funding.
1/ Positioning the project in relation to different sources of funding
- Study of the project’s relevance to the targeted Call for Proposals (CFP),
- Assess the excellence and ambition of the project,
- Targeting the best expertise for the project (relevant consortia and partnerships),
- Studying the possible uses of the project from the outset.
2 / Structuring the project
- Definition of its implementation strategy,
- Drawing up the budget,
- Planning and organisation,
- Project management and monitoring,
- Assessment of the social and economic impact.
3/ Pre-evaluation of the project by peers
4/ Give yourself the best chance of obtaining funding
- Help with drafting proposals in line with the specifics of the call for proposals,
- Use of professional tools and methodologies specifically dedicated to R&D project management.
