Deadline: 31 July 2018
Applications are now open for the ISESCO Research grant which is designed to give researchers an opportunity to gain experience in their academic field by working as a Research Assistant on a faculty member’s research project or on their own project under the close guidance of academic institution or scientific research center.
These grants are intended to help in preparing researchers to undertake their own future research projects and to provide supplemental financial assistance.
The ISESCO Research Grants programme has been established in response to the needs of promising young researchers in the OIC region, particularly those attached to institutions that lack appropriate research funding for engaging talented young scientists to worthwhile research activity.

Grants are provided in the fields of research:
- Nanotechnology
- Health biotechnology
- Information and communication technologies

- Applied Sciences
Award
- Researchers are awarded a maximum amount of US$10,000.00, which is normally provided for a period of two years.
- Requests for additional grants to allow the extension of a successful project will be considered by ISESCO, subject to the condition that ISESCO program managers approve a satisfactory final report on the previous grant.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants should be national resident of OIC member states;
- You should hold a Ph. D. in the field in which the grant is requested.
- Researchers should also hold a position in a public sector, university or public research institution where projects are proposed.
