In addition to the call for applications dated October 15, 2025, this call for applications aims to select the CRPPE “Interregional ” for the North (term of office until December 31, 2028) to conduct exposure surveys of patients with pleural mesothelioma in order to collect, via dedicated questionnaires, data on their occupational, non-occupational, and environmental exposure to asbestos and other fibers (artificial mineral fibers, carbon fibers, and Kevlar) as well as ionizing radiation.

National coverage will be provided by four CRPPEs known as “interregional reference CRPPEs,” which will conduct exposure surveys in territories defined in the specifications; three of these have already been selected. This supplementary call for proposals concerns only the “North” interregional area, comprising Hauts-de-France, Normandy, and Grand-Est.
