The ANRS MIE is launching the first session of its biannual call for generic projects. This call is for funding applications for projects, initiation contracts and research grants relating to :

Research priorities for the 2025 call for projects

This year, the ANRS MIE has included in its generic call for proposals research priorities targeting specific and evolving themes, with the aim of mobilising additional efforts to advance knowledge on these subjects considered to be of major importance.

These priorities target research in France and in the PRFIs on :

  • prevention of mother-to-child transmissionof HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis and congenital syphilis;
  • screening, non-vaccinal bio-medicalprevention and non-biomedical prevention of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections;
  • the cure for HIV/AIDS and HBV and HDV infections;
  • new therapeutic approachesfor tuberculosis;
  • implementation and scaling-up of interventions.

While the submission of research projects targeting these priorities is strongly encouraged, projects on other research topics within the scope of the call remain eligible.

The description of the research priorities for this call for projects is detailed in Annex 1 of the funding rules.

Who can apply?

The call for proposals is open to all French research laboratories, whether public or private, contributing to the public service missions of higher education and research. The proposed research projects may be presented in the form of a partnership between several French or international research teams, but the team carrying out the research must be attached to a French research establishment.

They may be non-nominative at the time the application is submitted. Applicants for these grants must be attached to a French research organisation.
