KBF - Institut Imagine France - GENeHOPE - research on genetic diseases

Research

Funding organisation:

Koning Boudewijnstichting

What?

The Fund GENeHOPE supports basic and translational research into genetic diseases, aiming to increase our understanding of their molecular mechanisms, and advance diagnostics and treatments.

The Fund is launching a second call for projects. Scope of this call: Financial contribution to joint research into genetic diseases between a research team from Belgium and a team from the Institut Imagine France.

The collaboration, whether already established, envisioned or yet to be initiated, will receive financial support to strengthen the collaboration, expand it, attract additional expertise, and thus accelerate research breakthroughs and clinical applications.

Budget: 200.000 EUR for minimum 2 collaborative projects, with a maximum of €100.000 per project, covering 2 working years.
  

Who?

Mandatory collaboration (ongoing, envisioned or new) between a Belgian research institute/consortium and Institut Imagine France.

The collaborative project must be submitted by one single main applicant. However, upon approval of the grant, the awarded budget will be divided into 2 separate contracts (Belgian Research Institute - Institut Imagine) according to the distribution proposed in the application file.
  

Application?

Applications should be submitted via the online platform of the King Baudouin Foundation, in English by 03/02/2026 at midnight at the latest. Candidates will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.
