Education
This program, is supported in its early days by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation, helps to finance replacements for the hospital doctors, pharmacists and odontologists who work in the clinical units associated with the Imagine Institute so that they can devote their time to a research project. The head of the program is Prof. Rieux-Laucat.
Eligibility
The program is primarily aimed at hospital practitioners (PH) and senior lecturer-hospital practitioners (MCU-PH), but can also include University professors-hospital practitioners (PU-PH).

Current and former “Time for Research” participants
The exceptional environment that I had the opportunity to benefit from within the Imagine Institute allowed me to fully devote my time to rich basic and translational research activities. Moreover, collaboration with Prof. Olivier Hermine’s team and particularly with Dr Thiago Trovati Maciel has, in my opinion, helped to structure research by creating strong links between the Sickle cell anemia center for rare diseases and Imagine Institute
