To encourage new collaborative projects, the MarMaRa Institute is launching a call for "incentive action" projects. The aim of this call is to support new innovative projects of excellence between the institute's laboratories (minimum two laboratories) OR between a MarMaRa team and an external team (at national, European or international level).
The research project must be innovative and not a continuation of an ongoing collaborative project. Preliminary data are not mandatory. Priority will be given to projects that draw on interdisciplinary skills and collaborative researchers.
Each project is eligible for a grant of up to €30,000 for a maximum duration of 12 months.
The call description and application forms can be downloaded and completed (see "Documents to download" on the right).

With funding from the Institute, we have set up a strategy to generate cell models to assess whether genetic and telomere instabilities are present in patients with rare encephalopathies caused by UFMylation deficiency. Depending on future results, we may consider applying for national funding.
