NOTICE – The Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ) was established on June 1, 2024, in accordance with the Act to amend the Act respecting the Ministère de l’Économie et de l’Innovation with respect to research. The Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT), the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Santé (FRQS) and the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et culture (FRQSC) have since been regrouped into the new FRQ, which continues their existence. The rights and obligations of the FRQNT, FRQS and FRQSC have become those of the FRQ; activities continue as usual.

Please note that if you come across an old name or logo of one of the Fonds de recherche du Québec in the program rules or on the website, it should now read as follows:

  • The FRQNT becomes the Nature et technologies sector;
  • The FRQS becomes the Santé sector;
  • The FRQSC becomes the Société et culture sector.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please find below downloadable versions of the official logos for the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), together with the graphic guidelines of the Québec government’s visual identity program (Programme d’identification visuelle du gouvernement du Québec).

The use of the following logos is restricted to recipients of scholarships and grants awarded by the FRQ with the specific aim to acknowledge funding. The FRQ subscribes to the full academic freedom of financed researchers. Thereby, the presence of FRQ’s logo within a publication or activity does not necessarily mean that the Fonds endorse that specific content.

Any other use of these logos must be approved by the FRQ. Please contact webmestre.frq@frq.gouv.qc.ca.
