TWAS Research Grants Programme in Basic Sciences (Groups)

Under this scheme, grants are awarded to promising high-level research projects in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics carried out by research units in the S&T-lagging countries identified by TWAS. 

The TWAS Research Grants Programme (https://twas.org/opportunity/twas-research-grants-programme-basic-sciences-groups) in Basic Sciences was established in response to the needs of researchers in developing countries, particularly those attached to institutions that lack appropriate research facilities. Under this scheme, grants can be awarded for research projects in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics either to individual young researchers or to research units in the science-and-technology-lagging countries (S&TLC) identified by TWAS, to enable them to purchase the research facilities they need to enhance their productivity.

Deadline – March 31, 2020

Partner Organizations- Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency

Minimum degree held- PhD

Field – Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics

How to apply

• TWAS Research Grant applications can now be submitted online by clicking on the “Apply Now” link at the bottom of this page.
• Please note that a researcher may only submit one application at a time and for only one kind of grant (as an individual applicant, as a research unit, IsDB or the OWSD Early Career Women Scientists (ECWS) Fellowship). Applicants cannot apply for other TWAS programmes i.e. Postdoctoral, Visiting Scholar and Visiting Researcher programme within the same year in order to be present in their home country throughout the duration of the grant.
