Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale (FRM) is one of France’s best-known private funders of medical research, supporting scientists and research teams working on fundamental and translational health advances. Its funding is broad across disease areas but consistently centered on improving diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of major medical conditions, often through competitive research awards, fellowships, and project grants. FRM is especially important to early-career researchers and academic medical teams in France, with an emphasis on scientific excellence and high-potential research.
Competitive grantmaking through calls for proposals and research programs, with awards typically directed to individual researchers, teams, or labs; funding is often project-based rather than unrestricted and may support fellowships, equipment, or multi-year research initiatives.
Monitor FRM’s website for open calls and program-specific deadlines; proposals are typically submitted competitively and must align with a defined research call. Applicants should emphasize scientific novelty, methodological rigor, and the potential medical impact of the project, and confirm eligibility carefully because many programs are aimed at French-based researchers or institutions.
