Research-Action award
The call for applications is annual and concomitant with that of the research grants. It generally runs from the month of January to the beginning of the month of June. During this period, the application form is available online. Applications are selected in October for the prize-giving ceremony at the end of the year.
Principles of the Research-Action award
Research-Action is an approach that combines action in the field and work on clinical research. It enables professional teams to validate practices on a scientific level. The objective of this Research action award is therefore to fund a project led by practitioners in the field and/or researchers. The topic is set every year by the Mustela Foundation’s Scientific Committee.
