The Fondation pour la Recherche Médicale selects and supports innovative research projects that promise to advance knowledge of all diseases.
But research is a long-term endeavor, and it may take many years before it results in visible human health benefits. To objectively measure the effectiveness of its support in the short and longer term, the FRM devotes part of its activities to assessing the impact of its efforts. In 2020, researchers supported by the FRM produced 1,090 scientific publications.
