Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences
KFAS Young Researcher Grants fund early-career researchers to lead research projects in Kuwait. Applicants must be students, working professionals or researchers under 33 who hold at least a bachelor's degree but not a PhD, working under a mentor with a PhD or equivalent at a local research or academic institution; international researchers may apply only through a Kuwaiti institution with substantial collaboration with a Kuwait-based team. The 2026 Second Call runs September 15 to November 15, 2026, with applications submitted only through the KFAS Research Grants Management System.
