Topics consistent with the call

  • One Health studies linking infectious disease, animal health and the environment
  • Immunology of infection and host responses to pathogens
  • Environmental drivers of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases
  • Artificial intelligence methods for health and environmental data
  • High-performance computing for large-scale scientific modelling
  • Quantum computing and quantum technologies research

Based on the published scope; the official page sets out the full themes and requirements.

Is your work a fit? Check before you apply

  1. Confirm the project fits either Health/One Health or the digital continuum theme.
  2. Establish a joint team with a Brazilian coordinator and a French coordinator.
  3. Plan for the Brazilian coordinator to submit to CNPq and the French coordinator to ANR.
  4. Check budgets, eligibility and joint submission rules in the official call document.
  5. Prepare a complete, institutionally approved application before 31 March 2027.

Why This Funding Call Matters

Challenges such as emerging infections and the health effects of environmental change cross national borders and disciplines, and progress in computing and artificial intelligence increasingly depends on international collaboration. Joint funding from Brazil and France allows teams in both countries to combine expertise, data and infrastructure. The call supports bilateral partnerships that can strengthen long-term cooperation in One Health and in the digital technologies that underpin modern research.

Who Should Apply

Academic backgrounds

  • Infectious diseases and microbiology
  • Immunology
  • Environmental and ecological sciences
  • Computer science and artificial intelligence
  • Physics and quantum technologies

Institutions and sectors

  • Universities in Brazil and France
  • Public research institutes
  • Health and environmental research agencies

What Reviewers Typically Value

  1. Genuine scientific complementarity between the Brazilian and French teams.
  2. A clearly defined research question within one of the two call themes.
  3. A feasible joint work plan with shared responsibilities and exchange.
  4. Potential for lasting collaboration beyond the funded project.

Ideas You Could Develop

Arboviruses and land-use changeA joint study examining how deforestation and land-use change affect mosquito-borne virus transmission.
Immune responses to tropical infectionsA project comparing host immune responses to an infection endemic in Brazil using shared laboratory approaches.
AI for epidemic forecastingA collaboration developing machine learning models that combine climate and health data to forecast outbreaks.

  4. Decision: outcomes are released on the funder’s timetable.
  5. Award: successful applicants agree terms and reporting requirements before starting.

What the Funder Are Looking For

CNPq and ANR are looking for joint Brazilian–French teams proposing research in Health/One Health or in the digital continuum. Strong applications typically show a clear question, real complementarity between partners and a feasible plan for joint work. Each coordinator submits to their national agency, so alignment between the two submissions matters. Budgets, eligibility and procedures should be confirmed in the official call document published by CNPq.
