Upon completion of the first stage of the 2022 Generic Call for Proposals (AAPG), among the 6,431 eligible pre-proposals submitted, 2,912 pre-proposals for PRC, PRCE, PRME and JCJC projects were invited to submit a full proposal in stage 2. As part of a new measure initiated by the French National Research Agency (ANR), 58 PRC, PRCE and JCJC projects ranked in the complementary list of the AAPG 2021, but not selected for funding at the end of the process, are automatically invited to stage 2 of the AAPG 2022. The project submission website for stage 2 of the AAPG 2022 will be open from 17 February to 24 March 2022. See these results by funding instrument, Scientific Evaluation Panel and by major disciplinary area.
