The development of new therapeutic concepts for rare diseases and the understanding of the causes and mechanisms of neuromuscular diseases are the subject of numerous funding from the AFM-Téléthon through its annual calls for proposals. Each year, the Association supports more than 200 research projects and young researchers (doctoral and post-doctoral fellows). Funding requests must be submitted through the online web portal according to the calendar

AFM Téléthon (France) launches a scientific call for proposals for 2023, open both to French and foreign teams. The aim is to support:

  1. Fundamental Research and Physiopathology of Diseases of the Neuromuscular System
  2. Development of Innovative Therapeutic Approaches for Rare Genetic Diseases
