Fondations France Sclérose en Plaques is a dedicated French funder focused almost entirely on multiple sclerosis and related disorders. It supports a full research pipeline—from PhD and career-transition awards to basic science, clinical studies, multidisciplinary SHS research, and network-building—while also funding mobility and short-term exchanges that help French teams collaborate and build capacity. Its distinctive feature is a strong emphasis on projects with a clear French leadership or partnership component, especially those likely to improve patient care, access to treatment, and quality of life.
Structured, competitive grantmaking through annual calls for proposals; awards range from small mobility grants (up to €6,000) to major multi-year research commitments (up to €450,000 over 3 years). Most research programs are deadline-based with a March 31 annual cutoff, while travel and working-visit support are open year-round.

Monitor the annual Calls-for-Proposals page closely, as most programs share a March 31 deadline and require projects to be led by or strongly connected to French research teams. Applicants should align proposals tightly to MS/related disorders, specify the patient benefit or translational value, and choose the correct mechanism (basic research, clinical, SHS, PhD, mobility, or network-building) before submission.
