About Fondation Francophone pour la Recherche sur le Diabete Ffrd

Fondation Francophone pour la Recherche sur le Diabete (FFRD) is a scientific grantmaker focused on advancing research on diabetes and metabolic diseases, with a strong emphasis on francophone research teams. Its annual call supports ambitious clinical, basic, and translational projects, suggesting a preference for research with clear potential to move from lab to patient care. The foundation appears to fund high-quality, internationally relevant diabetes research rather than broad health programming or service delivery.

Focus Areas

Type 1 Diabetes ResearchType 2 Diabetes ResearchGestational Diabetes ResearchTranslational Diabetes ResearchClinical Endocrinology & MetabolismMetabolic Disease Research

Giving Approach

Annual competitive, application-based research grants; typically one cycle per year with scientific review. Awards are substantial for a specialty foundation, commonly around €150,000–€300,000 and up to €250,000 in the latest cycle, aimed at selected research projects rather than ongoing operating support.

How to approach this funder

Monitor the annual FFRD call for projects and apply within the published deadline window; recent cycles have opened in mid-February and closed at the end of April. Proposals should be led by francophone research teams and clearly demonstrate strong scientific merit, translational or clinical relevance, and fit with diabetes/metabolic disease priorities.
