Purpose of the system

The regional CFPs/AMIs of the ARS finance actions / experiments promoting the integration of innovative solutions (organizational, technological, social) in the responses provided to the region's populations.

Each ARS decides each year on the themes and types of innovative solutions to be financed as a priority in its territory, with regard to the region's healthcare issues and priorities. CFPs/AMIs are then published by each ARS to identify projects for funding.

Is this scheme right for my project?

  • To qualify for a subsidy, my project must meet the criteria set out in the CFP/AMI specifications of the ARS (healthcare theme, target population, type of solution sought...). These CFP/AMI are published on the website of each ARS.
  • Health structures are eligible for CFP/AMI subsidies. To receive a subsidy, a company must therefore partner with a health structure that will carry the project. Healthcare structures must ensure that they respect the public procurement framework in their relationship with the company.
  • If the project is selected, the project leader (healthcare structure or consortium led by a healthcare structure)contracts with the ARS on the objectives of the project for a specified period, undertakes to ensure its follow-up, to justify the use of funds, and generally to produce evaluation elements (notably performance, efficiency, satisfaction indicators...) or capitalization on the contributions of the solution experimented.

Type of financing

Generally focused on project start-up and engineering, the grant is generally paid in two stages (advance at the beginning of the project and balance at the end), for a fixed period
The Regional Intervention Fund (FIR) is not intended to finance the ongoing costs of a solution, after the experimentation period.
