## Eligibility & scope

Amorçage de jeunes équipes 2026 - Session 3 (Programme généraliste) — funding call from France's Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale (FRM), the country's leading private biomedical-research foundation. Open to researchers at French host institutions across all areas of biology, medicine and health.

## Summary

The FRM "Amorçage de jeunes équipes" grant helps early-career researchers launch their first independent team at a French host institution, covering projects across biology, medicine and health. It is run by the Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale, France's leading private biomedical-research foundation, under its general-purpose (Programme généraliste) scheme.

## Who should apply

- Early-career researchers setting up a new, independent research team
- Applicants hosted at a French research or medical institution
- Projects spanning any area of biology, medicine or health
- Researchers applying under FRM's general-purpose (Programme généraliste) call

## Key dates

- Deadline: 6 November 2026 (Session 3 of the 2026 call)

## Tips for applicants

- This is Session 3 of the 2026 cycle, check whether earlier sessions' feedback or outcomes are published, as FRM often runs multiple sessions per year with similar criteria.
- Since the call is generalist, position the project clearly within biology, medicine or health rather than assuming a niche panel, reviewers span disciplines.
- Emphasize team-founding elements (independence, host institution support) since this call specifically targets researchers launching a new team, not ongoing projects.
