Call for tenders: "Research and grafting" and "Human and social sciences"

The Agence de la biomédecine's mission is to promote medical and scientific research in its areas of expertise. In this context, and as it does every year, the Agency has opened the 2025 edition of two calls for tenders to fund research projects for a period of three years:

These calls for tender closed on December 12, 2024. All the projects received were evaluated by experts from outside the Agency, then discussed by the Medical and Scientific Committee. At the end of this selection process, the results of the "Research and Transplant" call for tenders are as follows:

The research calls for tender will be launched around October 2025, with a submission deadline scheduled for early December 2025.

Since 2006, the call for tenders has funded 275 projects (excluding SSH), including 24 in the Human and Social Sciences, out of 1,256 eligible applications submitted. On average, the agency supports 15 "Organ-Tissue" projects per year, with an annual budget of 23,500 euros per project. These research projects, which are generally completed within two years, contribute to significant advances in the field of organ and tissue donation and transplantation, and their results are valorized through scientific reports submitted to the agency.
