Generic Call for Proposals (AAPG)

The Generic Call for Proposals (Appel à projets générique, AAPG) is ANR's main annual call. It is open to all scientific communities and all public and private actors involved in French research, structured into 57 research themes — 38 covering 7 main scientific fields and 19 covering trans- or interdisciplinary challenges. Each theme corresponds to a Scientific Evaluation Committee (CES). Applicants choose a theme at submission and the choice cannot be changed during selection. The AAPG runs five funding instruments under one umbrella: JCJC (Jeunes chercheuses et jeunes chercheurs — young researcher individual projects), PRME (Projet de recherche monoéquipe — ambitious single-team projects), PRC (Projet de recherche collaboratif — national academic collaboration), PRCE (PRC — enterprise variant including a company partner) and PRCI (PRC — international, bilateral collaboration with a foreign agency). Selection is two-stage: a pre-proposal in Step 1 (mid-October), notification of results in mid-February, then a full proposal in Step 2 (late March), rebuttal phase in late May, and decisions from June onward (PRCI results follow the foreign-agency negotiation schedule).

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
