In the service of health and research for more than 70 years, the Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale (FRM) is one of the largest nonprofit sources of funding for French medical research on all diseases: cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, rare diseases and others.
Every year, it supports more than
400 new research projects, carried out by public research organizations and
higher educational institutions (INSERM, CNRS, INRA, CEA, universities, grandes écoles, health institutions,
etc.).
Maintaining
its independence, the FRM is
able to act thanks to the generosity of its donors, bequests and partners.
The Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale is recognized as a charitable organization and certified
by the group Don en Confiance.
“I am aware that medical research in France needs additional resources. We will continue to promote excellence while striving to ensure that the rate of project selection is sufficient to motivate the best.”
Denis Duverne, Chairman of the Supervisory Board
The FRM is independent of any political, economic or religious power. Its decisions are guided solely by its charitable goals, the needs expressed by researchers and its founding principles and values.
The FRM judges the quality of projects submitted to it impartially. It sets up procedures for research project selection that guarantee this impartiality.
The FRM’s goal is to participate in the development of advanced French medical research that brings about medical progress. Scientific excellence and innovation guide the choice of the research projects funded.
The FRM follows procedures and controls that ensure the quality of its management and allow its donors to remain fully informed about the use of their donations.
