The Institut Laënnec keeps a watch on Calls for Projects related to AI for Health for laboratories within its scope and its partners.

Find below the AAPs detected during the month of March 2025:

  • PEPR MED-OOC
    https:// pepr-santenum.fr/2025/03/12/repondez-a-lappel-a-projets-lance-par-le-pepr-med-ooc/

OBJECTIVE: Lay the foundations for the medicine of the future by developing a new generation of organs and organoids on chips capable of mimicking as closely as possible the physiology or pathology of a patient's organ. The ultimate ambition is to use this technology for personalized medicine, in particular by providing unprecedented information on patients' individual response to a given treatment.

Total budget : €15 million

Duration: 3 or 4 years

Eligibility: Academic research institutions (companies can participate as partners)

📅 Project submission deadline : May 27/25 at 11:00 am (CET)

  • PEPR Biotherapies
    https:// pepr-santenum.fr/2025/03/12/repondez-a-lappel-a-projets-lance-par-le-pepr-biotherapies/

PURPOSE: The Biotherapies program is launching its second call for projects. In two phases, with a total budget of 13.5 million euros, it aims to encourage multi-disciplinary research initiatives to transform the field of biotherapies, and in particular to integrate AI, digital twins and multi-scale modeling to transform biomanufacturing. Two-phase process, starting with a Letter of Intent.

Total budget : €13.5m

Duration: up to 4 years

Eligibility: Academic research institutions (companies can participate as partners)

📅 Project submission deadline : 17/04/25 at 11:00 (CET)

OBJECTIVE: To support analyses that will enable the characterization of human microbiomes or host-microbiome interactions of healthy subjects or highly phenotyped patients participating in clinical studies or included in existing cohorts. To ensure the comparability of data generated when studying the human microbiota, appropriate sample collection procedures and methods will need to be followed. More specifically, the objectives are to take advantage of available data and biological samples already collected or whose collection can be rapidly organized in order to complete and enhance the studies.

Total budget : €250,000 maximum

Duration: 3 years

Eligibility: Academic research institutions (companies may participate as partners)

📅 Project submission deadline : 06/27/25 at 2:00 pm (CET)

  • AAP ANR-NRF (Korean National Research Foundation): Artificial intelligence for biotechnologies
    https:// anr.fr/fr/detail/call/appel-a-projets-2025-anr-nrf-intelligence-artificielle-pour-les-biotechnologies/

OBJECTIVE: Encourage collaboration between French and Korean academic researchers to explore and develop AI applications in biotechnologies. Proposed projects may cover a wide range of themes, including but not limited to bioinformatics and genomics, personalized medicine, precision agriculture and drug discovery... .

Total budget : €200,000 (indicative)

Duration: 36 months

📅 Application deadline : 07/05/25 (CET)

  • MRSEI 2025 - Setting up European or Internationally-based Scientific Networks
    https:// anr.fr/fr/detail/call/mrsei-2025-montage-de-reseaux-scientifiques-europeens-ou-internationaux/

OBJECTIVE: to give scientists working in French laboratories the means to submit a research project as coordinator to European (Horizon Europe) or Internationally collaborative calls, thus giving them the opportunity to develop ambitious interdisciplinary projects and boost their visibility at international level.

Total budget : €36,000 maximum

Duration: 24 months

📅 Deadline for project submissions : 09/15/25 at 1:00 pm (CET)
