I think so. I signed on the basis that I've previously received an NIH overseas subaward (and would very much like to get another one).

Research areas covered include RNA biology, epigenetic regulation, cell cycle regulation, cancer, immunology and virology (see www.igmm.cnrs.fr). Candidates developing new concepts, disruptive methodologies, and/or high-risk projects with strong potential, are particularly encouraged to apply.
