Fyssen Research Grant

The Fyssen Research Grant funds research projects aimed at advancing knowledge of the mechanisms of behavior and cognition, their ontogenetic and phylogenetic development. Projects may be in disciplines such as neuroscience, ethology, psychology, anthropology, paleontology and archaeology. Grants support young researchers to form and lead a research team within a host institution in France and promote mobility and the development of autonomous research themes.

Up to €100,000 funding for project costs over 12 months; eligibility for two €1,000 prizes awarded to best submitted articles to the Foundation's Annales.

Open to young researchers of any nationality who obtained their doctorate more than 3 years and less than 10 years prior to the start of the funding (extensions possible for parental leave or long-term illness). Candidates must be already employed and propose to form a research team within a host institution in France.

Complete the online application form and submit required documents (support letter from host laboratory, two recommendation letters, CV and publication list, project description in English, budget, list of other requested funding, team list, 150-word summary in French and English, ethics authorization if applicable, copy of employment contract).
