► Focus on: Launch of the 2017 Generic Call for Proposals by the ANR
The French National Research Agency (ANR) has now launched its 2017 Generic Call for Proposals.
The Research Contracts Department is available to help you prepare your ANR proposals. Please feel free to contact the department as early as possible (scr@pasteur.fr) for help in preparing the administrative and financial part of your proposal and for answers to your questions.
In 2016, the department dealt with approximately 200 pre-proposals. To make sure we can help everyone submitting a proposal, we would ask you to file a request via the BPM application as soon as possible, and by Monday October 20, 2016 at the latest.
1. Collaborative Research Projects (PRCs), Collaborative Research Projects involving Enterprises (PRCEs) and Young Researchers Projects (JCJCs) will be submitted and assessed in two stages. The online submission deadline for pre-proposals on the ANR website is Thursday October 27, 2016 at 1pm (Paris time).
2. International Collaborative Research Projects (PRCIs) are governed by a bilateral agreement between the ANR and a foreign funding agency and will be assessed according to a separate procedure. These proposals will be submitted in a single stage at a later date. The deadline for the initial pre-registration stage is October 27, 2016 at 1pm (Paris time).
The above-mentioned terms do not apply to the other calls and programs in the 2017 Action Plan or to specific European and international calls (ERA-NET, JPI, etc.), each of which has its own specific call document.
