Transforming Health and Care Systems (THCS) Partnership

The Transforming Health and Care Systems Partnership call is ANR's French-facing route inside the European THCS partnership, specifically the Access to Care transnational call. It funds projects that use ecosystem-based and interdisciplinary approaches to reduce inequalities in access to and use of health and care services. The call is grant-based and transnational. Projects run for 12 to 36 months, with at least three eligible partners from three different participating countries, no more than nine funded partners, and no more than two per country. ANR funds only French partners, except healthcare institutions that are supported by DGOS, and it caps its contribution at EUR 250,000 per French partner or EUR 275,000 when the French partner coordinates. Proposals are written in English, go through the central THCS submission system, and French applicants also file national administrative and financial information separately. Strong proposals bring together academia, clinical or public-health actors, companies, and operational stakeholders such as local communities, municipalities, NGOs, or citizen representatives. The call favors work that can be tested in specific national or regional contexts, especially where service gaps, rural access, digital pathways, or medical deserts are part of the problem. Two-step screening, with pre-proposals and full proposals, rewards consortia that are already coordinated and that can show a credible route from analysis to implementation.
