Research Grants for Young Scientists in OIC Member States
Organization of the Islamic Conference Standing Committee on Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) in collaboration with the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) has announced joint research grants for the young scientists of the OIC member states.
COMSTECH-TWAS Joint Research Grants are awarded to high-level and promising research projects carried out by young individual scientists in OIC countries. A sum of US $ 200,000/- has been pledged by TWAS and COMSTECH for the research grants under this program.
For young scientists, up to the age of 40 years who are living in OIC countries and working in science and technology will compete to receive the grant of US $ 15000/- each to enable them to purchase the research facilities they need to enhance their productivity.
COMSTECH and TWAS have set August 31, 2009 as the deadlines for submitting applications to either COMSTECH Secretariat in Islamabad, Pakistan or to TWAS in Trieste, Italy.
The program aims at encouraging the pursuit of scientific excellence in OIC member states by identifying and supporting the best young scientists in these countries.
It focuses reinforcing and promoting scientific research and strengthening the endogenous capacity in science and technology. The program also aims at counteracting the brain drain and reducing the exodus of scientific talent from the OIC countries.
A grant of US $ 15000/- is normally provided for a period of 18 months and is renewable once. The grant may be used to purchase scientific equipment, consumables and specialized literature (textbooks and proceedings only). The grant, however, does not cover salaries of researchers and/or students, field expenses, travel expenses and/or participation in international conferences.
The program provides support for research projects in the fields of science and technology including earth sciences, engineering sciences, information technology & computer sciences, materials science including nanotechnology, pharmaceutical sciences and renewable energy.
Application form and more information about eligibility conditions, requirements, and contact person’s phone numbers, email and postal addresses is available at http://www.comstech.org/ and http://www.twas.org/.
