♦ Focus on: First annual call for proposals from the ELICIT Field of Major Interest (DIM)
On December 15, the Île-de-France (Greater Paris) region adopted the accreditation of its new Fields of Major Interest (DIMs) for the 2017-2020 period.
ELICIT (Empowering Life Sciences with Innovative Technologies), co-coordinated by the Pierre-Gilles-de-Gennes Institute for Microfluidics (IPGG, Patrick Tabeling) and the Institut Pasteur Technological Innovation and Research Center, is one of the 15 selected projects. The consortium also comprises the ESPCI ParisTech engineering school, including Institut Langevin, the Institut Curie, École Normale Supérieure (ENS), Paris V University, École Polytechnique, and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA).
The ELICIT DIM is launching its first annual call for proposals (AAP1) aiming to support interdisciplinary collaborative research projects. Doctoral and postdoctoral grants, salaries for engineers, and/or equipment will be awarded in respect of this unique annual call for proposals.
The submission deadline for proposals is June 26, 2017. The results will be announced on September 30.
♦ Focus on: Calls for proposals from the 1HEALTH Field of Major Interest (DIM)
A major program of the regional research policy implemented by the Greater Paris (Île-de-France) region, Fields of Major Interest (DIMs) aim to unite networks of laboratories situated in Greater Paris, impacting target accredited fields. In December 2016, the Greater Paris Authority agreed to fund the 1HEALTH DIM, whose objective is to set up a major "One Health" infectiology network unique to France and of European scale, with a view to meeting public health needs. One of the program's specific goals is to develop new concepts, notably in vaccinology, anti-infective therapy and diagnostics, and to bring a social and economic dimension to healthcare.
The first call for proposals is open to the entire Greater Paris community and was launched on May 2, 2017. The collaborative call for proposals allows for an association of Greater Paris teams on the "One Health" topic. The selected projects will receive operational funding (contracts for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, engineers, aid for business development, etc.) and investment aid:
