Al Qasimi Foundation UAE Field Research Grants - now accepting submissions

The Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi Foundation for Policy Research is currently accepting submissions for its Doctoral Research Grants, Faculty Research Grants, and Seed Grant opportunities. Please help us to disseminate these opportunities among your professional and social networks. Given the focused nature of the Foundation’s grants, we’ve found personal networks to be the most effective means for connecting with competitive grant applicants and potential visiting scholars.

Ideal Applicants: The Al Qasimi Foundation grants are ideal for individuals with existing research interests in the GCC and Middle East region related to education, arts and culture, urban planning and community development, or public health. The Foundation would also consider submissions related to philanthropy in the region. While Ras Al Khaimah/United Arab Emirates (UAE) must be a significant site for data collection and analysis, comparative studies are welcome and encouraged. Scholars associated with an accredited higher education institution anywhere in the world are eligible to apply, and awards cover expenses associated with conducting field research in the UAE.​

More Information: Please see the Al Qasimi Foundation's website for specific information on each grant opportunity, including eligibility and application instructions: http://www.alqasimifoundation.com/en/what-we-do-l2/9/grants​. Specific questions can also be directed to grants@alqasimifoundation.rak.ae. 

Deadline: The upcoming deadline for all grant submissions is March 1, 2018. All required materials must be submitted by this date in order for an application to be considered. We appreciate your support and assistance in finding strong applicants for these unique opportunities.
