CAP Recherche - Appui aux projets de recherche

CAP ANR is a network of professionals bringing together people in charge of supporting scientists in the submission and administrative, financial and legal implementation of their research projects to national or regional public funding agencies. Created in 2010 by research support professionals in charge of accompanying projects funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR), CAP ANR has evolved over the years to become a professional network, drawing on the experience and skills of its members to expand its activities to other national research funders. After ten years of existence, CAP ANR, which stands for Conseils et APpuis aux Appels à projets Nationaux de Recherche (Advice and Support for National Research Projects), has become an association that brings together the departments in charge of scientific project engineering, support for research contracts, and their financial and legal management, from French public institutions and organizations that contribute to the missions of higher education and research. Today, more than one hundred institutions (universities, schools, research organizations, university hospitals, etc.) have joined the association, enabling more than 350 of their employees to benefit from the network's activities and to support nearly 100,000 researchers. Engineers or project managers, legal experts, financial managers, etc.: these collaborators with varied profiles make up the richness of the network and allow for an exchange of experiences and best practices that are indispensable in a context of constant change in the French public research landscape and its financing.
