Subventions de recherche
Who can apply: Open to young researchers of any nationality who completed their doctoral thesis more than three and less than ten years before funding begins, with adjustments for maternity, paternity, or long-term illness leave. Applicants must already be employed and form a research team around a collective project hosted by an institution in France. The project must align with the Foundation's objectives. Recipients of ATIP-Avenir or ANR Young Researchers funding may apply, but recipients of comparable independent-project support such as an ERC Starting Grant are ineligible.
Deadline: The 2026 application window opens September 1, 2026 and closes October 14, 2026 at 12:00 noon French time (GMT+1). Results are expected in December 2026.
