The Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) issued a call for proposals for new research projects in collaboration between French and São Paulo State researchers. The call was published in the framework of the Blanc International II Program, under the Cooperation Agreement signed by the French agency and the FAPESP.

For 2012, the selected themes are: “Global Change and Environment/Earth Sciences” and “Microbiology, Immunology, Infectology”. The call was also issued under the cooperation agreement between FAPESP and the Fundação de Amparo à Ciência e Tecnologia de Pernambuco (Facepe).

Proposals must be submitted directly to ANR by the French principal investigator, according the rules described in the Call for Proposals published by ANR. 

For the applicant researcher in the São Paulo State, the collaborative proposals may be carried out at FAPESP as a Research Award in the Regular or Thematic Project schemes, as determined by the applicant.

The proposal to be submitted to ANR by the French partner should be in English and must include, as an attachment, the FAPESP form, specific for the Call and related to the participation of the principal investigator from the São Paulo State.

After the submission deadline is reached, applicants from the São Paulo State will be contacted by FAPESP and asked to provide complementary documentation accordingly to the usual rules for the chosen award scheme.

Each project will be funded for a period of 2 to 4 years.
