To encourage collaborative projects between MarMaRa Institute teams and patient associations, the Institute has launched a specific call for tenders for the first time in 2022. The aim is to strengthen links between research teams and patients through co-financing.
Each project is financed by the institute and the association, with a maximum of €10,000 for MarMaRa and an amount from the association equal to or greater than that of the institute (for example: €5,000 institute and €5,000 association; €7,000 institute and €7,000 association; €10,000 institute and €12,000 association). The maximum duration is 24 months.
