Fondation Pierre-Deniker is a France-based foundation focused on advancing mental health research and reducing stigma around psychological disorders. It primarily supports young researchers, clinical and therapeutic innovation, and annual prizes and fellowships in psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and related social sciences. A distinctive feature of its giving is the mix of research awards and targeted support for specific disease areas such as depression, psychosis prevention, neuromodulation, and Alzheimer’s disease.
Primarily annual or permanent prize-and-fellowship funding, with grants ranging from small awards of about $5,000 to major prizes around $100,000. Funding appears France-focused, research-oriented, and often tied to formal calls for projects or recognition awards rather than open-ended operating support.
Monitor the annual call for projects and submit on time through the foundation’s formal application process; the 2025 call opened March 1 and closed June 15 at 23:59. Proposals should clearly fit psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, or social-science research in mental health, and applications that support young researchers, innovative therapeutics, or disease-specific research (especially depression, psychosis, or Alzheimer’s) are likely to align well.
