The UAE Announces Multiple Research Grants Worth 1.5M USD
The UAE’s Rainfall Improvement Science Research Program has invited researchers from around the world to submit proposals for its fifth cycle.
This year’s round is offering a grant of up to Dh5.511 million ($1.5 million) distributed to each winning research proposal over a three-year period, for a total funding of $4.5 million.
The forum, held in Abu Dhabi, is the first of its kind to address global water and sustainability issues.
This year’s program is looking for innovative research proposals in two high-priority areas: cloud formation and precipitation enhancement.
Researchers have until March 9, 2023, to submit their proposals and pre-proposals must be submitted by March 16, 2023. Those selected to submit full proposals will be notified on May 26, 2023, with a deadline of May 24, 2023.
The selection process will be rigorous and will include a two-tier performance test. The winning projects will be announced in January 2024 and the winners will receive a grant with an annual maximum of US$550,000 for each successful research proposal.
