    Requisits
    The Grants are open to any established scientist from academic and private research institutions. Applications from pharma/biotech entities are not eligible.
    Grants are primarily allocated to proposals submitted by a single established principal investigator (with proven ability to run competitive research in an independent fashion). Collaborative projects from two PIs are eligible (though not prioritized).
    Since the primary objective of the Merieux Research Grant call is to initiate a collaboration with the holding that could be possibly pursued with particular companies from the Institut-Merieux Group, requests for Merieux Research Grants renewal are generally rejected.
    Only one proposal can be submitted to a given evaluation session by a given PI.
