Since 1982 and with prizes and research grants of a total of 20,000 € awarded every year, the Mustela Foundation has been supporting projects liable to be of interest to the general public and with practical applications for childhood professionals.
The grants, totalling 12,000 €, are aimed at contributing financially to research at a PhD or post-PhD level. Grants awarded cover a vast scope of research: psychology, sociology, clinical humanities, perinatal psychiatry, parenthood and children.
