PEPR Cell-ID : "Identités et destins cellulaires" - Appel à projets - 2025
Les cancers pédiatriques représentent la première cause de mortalité liée à une maladie chez les enfants en Europe, responsables de 20 % des décès après la période néonatale. De plus, deux tiers des survivants subissent des effets à long terme des traitements, souvent suffisamment sévères pour altérer la qualité de vie quotidienne et limiter la participation socioéconomique d’au moins la moitié d’entre eux. Au-delà de leur fardeau sanitaire élevé, les cancers pédiatriques du cerveau partagent plusieurs caractéristiques majeures : (i) ils prennent probablement racine dans des erreurs précoces de décisions de destinée cellulaire, se traduisant par des dérèglements de lignage ; (ii) ils apparaissent vraisemblablement durant des fenêtres de développement embryonnaire spécifiques, alors que le système immunitaire est encore immature ; (iii) ils impliquent à la fois des altérations génétiques et épigénétiques ; et (iv) les composants de la chromatine y jouent un rôle central.
Call for research projects on Charcot disease – ALS
Charcot's disease, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a neurodegenerative disease caused by the progressive degeneration of the central and peripheral motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord that control voluntary muscles. It is the most common of the rare diseases, with 4 new cases diagnosed each day in France. Life expectancy is 3 to 5 years after the onset of the first symptoms, and to date, there is no cure available.
Generic call for proposals – AAPG 2026
The Generic Call for Proposals 2026 (AAPG 2026) is the French National Research Agency’s (ANR) main call. All scientific communities and all public and private actors involved in French research are concerned. It should enable researchers from different scientific fields to fund their research projects on a large number of themes, whether finalized or not.
Specific support for Defence Projects and Innovation, ASTRID thematic call for proposals : RESISTANCE
The National Research Agency is launching, with the Defence Innovation Agency (AID) as partner, the call for projects ASTRID Resistance. This program is co-funded by AID and is hosted by ANR, which ensures its implementation.
2d edition of the Franco-Czech bilateral call for nuclear projects - ANR TACR

France 2030 - PEPR "SVA : Sélection Végétale Avancée" - Appel à projets 2025
Lancé le 1er mars 2024, le programme national de recherche (PEPR) « Sélection végétale avancée pour faire face au dérèglement climatique et assurer la transition agroécologique » (SVA) est une des mesures de la stratégie d’accélération SADEA (Systèmes Agricoles Durables et Équipements Agricoles contribuant à la transition écologique) de France 2030. Piloté par INRAE, il est doté d’un budget de 30 millions d’euros pour une durée de huit ans (2023-2031). Ce programme a pour objectif d’évaluer la contribution de l’édition des génomes pour accompagner la transition agroécologique dans un contexte d’adaptation au dérèglement climatique.
