Joint Research Grants

This grant is available for experts from U.S. and Egyptian scientific institutes, universities, scientific societies, private sector research and development centers, and governmental agencies interested in working on a joint research project. This grant is designed to support the add-on costs of bilateral cooperation.  The maximum grant amount is $60,000 (U.S. dollars) awarded for a period of 1-3 years.

The main goal of the Joint Fund is to encourage partnerships between American and Egyptian scientists, and enhance collaboration and technology-sharing between the two scientific communities.

Application Procedure

Applications, consisting of an appropriately detailed technical proposal, will be evaluated on the basis of technical merit and a preliminary budget. Applications for Joint Fund grants must be a written proposal in English. These proposals should be jointly developed by experts representing both countries.

Ideally, the Egyptian and U.S. participants will already be familiar with each other or enjoy a working relationship. It is the task of these partners to develop the joint proposal. This collaboration should be evident in the proposal or in attachments of supporting correspondence. The project proposal should first be supported and cleared by the home institutions of both the Egyptian and U.S. participants.
