The aim is to facilitate access for the French research community to the services from the unique national infrastructure and scientific expertise of the PHENOMIN’s partners, and to deliver novel mouse lines that providing important opportunities to advance knowledge gene function in relation to human development and disease. The calls are opened to French research applicants. The project will be submitted to a double-bind review process by an external scientific committee based on the scientific evaluation of the proposal according to the following criteria:

The scientific pertinence of the project, The potential to distribute the model under consideration, The innovative nature of the project,

The PHENOMIN resources mobilized by the project, The potential publicly availability of the data results.

Request services are done online through our PHENOMIN website. Each applicant will be informed of the outcome of the evaluation within the timing that has been defined for each call. For the calls that are non-free of charge, the cost of the project will be given to the selected applicant for placing an official order.

Appel à projets INSB | Accès aux Infrastructures Nationales de recherche

Access to Research Infrastructure for state-of-the-art technologies, methods and expertise. – February 2023

We are glad to announce the launch of a new call for proposal INSB CNRS National Infrastructure Access

PHENOMIN - CELPHEDIA is one of the National Infrastructures eligible to this call for proposals offering state-of-the-art technologies, methods and expertise
 

Program Description:

• Access to Research Infrastructures is open to the entire French and international scientific community, with contribution to the running costs of equipment being charged to the users on quote, after project feasibility confirmation by the infrastructure. The purpose of this program is to facilitate and finance access to these infrastructures.
• Target audience are INSB teams new to a technology or method offered by these infrastructures, seeking to validate the contribution that the infrastructures could make to their research topic by removing barriers that impair the completion or finalization of an ongoing project of the team.
• A new project is not eligible to this call. 
• Access to technologies and related expertise, upon quote from the infrastructures and confirmation of feasibility in 2023 can be supported by this call.
• In addition to the costs of access to infrastructure, upon a quote emitted by the infrastructure at the second stage of the call, travel/mission costs, as well as consumables that are not covered by the costs of access to infrastructure, may be covered.
• The funding for each project will be in the range of 10 to 30 K€

Application Deadline February 28th 2023

Project eligibility and selection criteria:

• The scientific leader of the project should be in a unit mainly attached to the INSB.
• Access to the infrastructure must be fully implemented before 31/12/2023 (deadline for the engagements of funds by the teams).
• A scientific and financial report will be asked to the granted team in June 2024.
• The scientific project must be a project in the process of being finalized. Access to infrastructure must unlock or accelerate the project. The start of a scientific project is not eligible for this call.
• The access to the infrastructure technology or expertise required should be new to the scientific leader.

Generation and Characterization of CreERT2 cell specific promoter driven deleter mouse lines.

9 new additional CreER^T2 mouse lines are generating by PHENOMIN team and will be made available as soon as possible for the scientific community and 4 CreER^T2 mouse models have been already generated by the European EUCOMMTOOLS consortium and and will be further characterized.

Creation and exploration of mouse models for rare diseases.

The French Foundation for rare diseases "Fondation maladies rares" and the French National Infrastructures PHENOMIN and CELPHEDIA launched 1 join call "new experimental animal models of rare diseases" (2019), and 3 successive joint calls "Mouse models and rare diseases" (in 2017, 2015 and 2013, respectively) to give a significant boost to the development of mouse models, in order to i) gain a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in rare diseases whose defective genes have been identified, ii) Test and validate therapeutic proofs of concept, at the pre-clinical in vivo level. 50 projects for new mouse models and 3 projects for new rat models have been or are being realized from 145 submissions.

Conditional or constitutive knock-out mouse generation and standard phenotyping.

 

• 2020:The 14th PHENOMIN call for projects was a great success. Fifty projects were submitted by 30 French researchers from laboratories across the country. 27 projects were selected. Most of these projects have already started and will certainly contribute to the influence of French research in various fields.

       More information about this call

• 2015: Conditional or constitutive knock-out mouse generation and standard phenotyping. For the first time, the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 technology was included (KO models only). 39 projects were selected to conduct to the generation and phenotyping of new mouse models.

More information about this call

• 2013: Expressions of Interest for generation of transgenic mouse lines bearing a single gene knock-out (with conditional potential) in order to establish and characterize conditional Knock-Out (cKO) models. 45 additional new mouse lines have been generated by PHENOMIN, in order to be available as soon as possible for the scientific community.

More information about this call

• 2012: First call for gene nomination have resulted to 140 selected projects for generation and standard phenotyping of new mouse models.
