Research framing authorities

ILVV participates fully in efforts to structure the field's research by taking part in various committees and projects designed to guide funding, equipment and infrastructures. ILVV is committed to supporting the work and needs of our research community.


FRENCH NATIONAL RESEARCH AGENCY (ANR)

To support the development of research on longevity and ageing using a multidisciplinary approach based on the humanities and social sciences, ILVV has initiated a dialogue with the ANR, focusing on two main areas: making the ILVV directory available to identify experts who can be appointed to evaluation bodies, and disseminating calls for projects on longevity and ageing to those registered in the ILVV database.


Joint Programming Action : More Years Better Lives

JPI_MYBL

The "More Years, Better Lives" Joint Programming Initiative (JPI MYBL) aims to coordinate national and international research programmes relating to the changes associated with demographic ageing..

In France, the Directorate General for Research and Innovation and the ANR (which organises the calls for projects) have set up a "Mirror Group" of the MYBL JPI to ensure that the French research strategy is represented in the administrative bodies. ILVV has been invited to take part in this group to provide an interface with the research teams.

In this context, ILVV and ANR colleagues worked on relaying information provided by the ANR on the timetable and themes of calls for proposals and "fast-track" operations (aimed at the state of art of a research question). ILVV supported the mirror group by mobilising colleagues to proofread call prefiguration documents. ILVV launched a call for applications to sit on the scientific bodies of the MYBL JPI. This collaboration led to the participation of a colleague in the "Ageing and technology" Fast Track consortium, as well as on the Scientific Advisory Board.


PRIORITY RESEARCH PROGRAMME (PPR) AUTONOMY

PIA3

The priority research programmes are part of the future investment programme (PIA). The government has asked the CNRS to lead a programme on autonomy (disability / ageing-related capacity loss), with funding of €30 millions. This ambitious project, led by the CNRS in conjunction with other major organisations and in partnership with the ANR, will run from 2021 to 2026.

The Director of the ILVV, the Deputy Director and the former Deputy Director (now an advisor) are members of the Scientific Advisory Board of the PPR on Autonomy, which brings together 16 leading figures from a variety of disciplines and from the management of institutes and research bodies working in the field of "independent living" of people with (ageing-related) functional loss and disability.  The Scientific Council identifies the challenges and priority actions and defines the types of support to be provided for the development of research in this field. This PPR is based on and will reinforce the missions and actions of existing structures, in particular those of ILVV.
