The annual call for research proposals to prepare CNES's scientific space research programme for 2024 is now open!
The RPA applies both to new proposals and to the continuation of existing RPA projects. All committed projects must be the subject of an annual update of the proposal (highlighting how the recommendations have been taken into account and the state of progress of the project) and of the funding application.
Laboratory research teams are invited to submit their proposals by midnight on 6 April 2023 on the new dedicated platform :
https://appels-sciences.cnes.fr/fr
You will find the text of the call for proposals, as well as the terms and conditions for responding to this call. We would draw your attention to the importance of reading these terms and conditions in order to take account of any changes and recommendations.
As the old APR site was becoming very outdated, we chose this platform based on feedback from the various players involved.
What's new :
The proposal will be made up of a single technical file + 1 economic file and ....... if necessary completed with an economic file for each co-applicant with a financial request (the co-applicant no longer needs to compile a technical file).
It is essential that the HR and financial aspects are brought to the attention of the directors (economic file).
The proposer remains the leader for checking the completeness of the proposal, and it is up to him to submit his proposal definitively (transmission to the CNES for examination).
The old site https://apr.cnes.fr/ is still available to consult archives from previous years.
