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:
- Fundamental Research and Physiopathology of Diseases of the Neuromuscular System
- Development of Innovative Therapeutic Approaches for Rare Genetic Diseases
Along with this call, AFM Téléthon also launches a medical research call in neuromuscular disorders, having various topics of interest (patients’ management/paramedical care, neonatal screening projects, E-Health and information technologies, assessment of new evaluation criteria, natural history of disease and/or epidemiological studies).
Multiple types of financing are available. More information here (PDF)
