Since 2002, the Lefoulon-Delalande Institut de France Foundation has awarded an annual Scientific Grand Prize, of an amount of 500,000 euros, to a scientist who has made important contributions to cardiovascular physiology, biology, or medicine. Taken in the widest sense, these fields also include developmental biology, genetics, epidemiology, physiology, as well as clinical biology, imaging techniques, therapeutics, and the pharmacology of the cardiovascular system. The call for nominations for the Scientific Grand Prize 2018 is now open.

More information and nomination form is available here.

Deadline for nominations: 29 January 2018.

Each candidate’s application will be examined by a scientific council composed of experts who are members of the French Academy of Sciences as well as by external experts.
