Funding

  • Focus on: 2016 ANR Action Plan.

The French National Research Agency (ANR) is launching its 2016 Action Plan and Generic Call for Proposals. For the 3rd year running, several funding instruments will be available for:

- Collaborative research projects (PRC)
- Collaborative research projects involving enterprises (PRCE)
- Collaborative international research projects (PRCI)
- Young researchers (JCJC)

PRC, PRCE, or JCJC projects relating to the major societal challenges or the "All-knowledge challenge" will be submitted and assessed according to the criteria below, in two stages:

         - Stage 1: the deadline for submission of pre-proposals (max. 5 pages) is extended to October 15, 2015 at 1pm (Paris time). Pre-proposals will be submitted on line and the site is now open.

         - Stage 2: on selection of their pre-proposal after stage 1, the applicants concerned will be invited to submit a full proposal (max. 30 pages). The submission deadline is set at the start of April 2016.

Specific case for PRCI projects: PRCI projects are governed by a two-party agreement between the ANR and a foreign funding agency and will be assessed according to a separate procedure. These proposals will be submitted in one stage (start of April 2016) with an initial pre-registration (deadline: October 15, 2015).

The above-mentioned terms do not apply to the other calls and programs of the 2016 Action Plan or to specific European and international calls (ERA-NET, JPI, etc.), for which there is a specific call document for each one.

Full details of the 2016 Action Plan and Call for Proposals are available on the ANR website.

Like in 2015, the ANR is requesting a forecast of funding needs on submission of pre-proposals. This amount should be a fairly accurate representation (+/- 15%) of the sum that will be requested in the full proposal.

In this matter, you are strongly advised to contact the Research Contracts Department (via email to scr@pasteur.fr) which can help you prepare your application, and to submit your pre-proposals on BPM as early as possible and no later than 5 working days before the submission deadline.
